Hi Fran. Yes they are standard fare here in the UK too. The different colours denote material and strength for aircraft specs. The purple ones are , I think, Monel. Colours codes used worldwide as far as I know.

Marcus. Yep the floor goes on last on the continuation cars. Engine mounts and rear susp towers in the jig first, then tied in with tub sides, then front top beam and front panel, dash support, outside skins on tubs then turn it all over and do the floor... something along those lines anyway. I'll post some more pics if you like.
