Great story really enjoyed it.

Smooth and pinkish is correct

Looks original from here

Thanks Pete, very pleased to hear that.

Found some more markings, posting just in case they are of interest to anyone.

[Is the R in red ?]

Sure they mean something 😉I

The "R" is likely the engine code, but could be paint code.

The "78" is a rotation number

Is the R in red ?
Thanks Pete, very cool.I reckon I will pop these back on once she's painted.

I would say the R looks most likely in white.

more glass pics.

more glass pics.

Is the glasswork for 4159 original panels?
I always thought one of the headlight buckets was aftermarket because it had no green paint on the back, but on getting it off it does have some highland green on it.(highland green is original colour, car was sprayed in black at some stage long ago)
Not sure if it's possible to tell from these pics, but if anyone can tell I would be grateful.

Congrats and enjoy!

Nice work.
And great color.

Thank you!

Very cool & good luck where did you find your build sheets & are you gonna keep the trailer hitch 

Build sheet was under the dash wrapped to the main wiring harness with black tape, which thankfully had no "stick" left in it. Came apart no problem but very fragile.
Yeah the towbar is not making a comeback. The second owner had the car 40 years and the KR was his driver which he used to tow his racer, a GT350.

I'm guessing 4 spd AC car?

Yep, good guess 

Look where front fenders bolt to radiator support on both sides (Two vertical holes) and along bottom front cross member.

Think I found some markings, passenger side looks like an R, can't make out the driver's side very well.
Couldn't find anything on the front crossmember or shock towers but managed to avoid some harder work by trying. 
Do the markings have any meaning?

Thanks Pete, I'll check it out tomorrow, nearly midnight here now so well and truly knocked off.

Thought I would share. Started stripping 4 days ago and have had a good run, should be done tomorrow. Body going off to the experts who need it for 6 months, rotisserie, going back to original highland green. In that time me and a mate helping will work on everything else. Got a nice surprise with the body, a little minor rust in the cowl, A pillars and trunk recess that will require patching but very minor and nothing anywhere else! All original panels, no patches anywhere. Even found the build sheet !
