That is clean and bloody shiny =D>
Talk about Britains got talent, they should really spend their money making programmes about people like you tes.
In fact that's not a bad idea for a telly programme. Why doesn't anyone inspire the kids (not sure how they like to be refered to nowadays

) or whatever to show their engineering talent or is that not hip(?) enough, bloody kids!
I give up.......

Hi Howie, cheers, yeah good idea but i don't think its got enough buttons to press and no wireless controller, bloody kids, coming out very good, spraying went very well just tank and seat unit to do but that'll come later, going to start rebuilding the engine at the weekend but that'll take a few weeks by the time i have cleaned up all casings, plating etc etc cheers wayne.

Very inspirational

any tips on the spraying, did you spray green over black, or just masked up and put the colour on top of the primer (if you see what I mean)
Have you got a mask etc for the 2pak.
I will have a go at spraying myself, as I've got too many bikes to either get them done professionally, or find NOS parts
