...treated myself over Xmas - afterall, I bought SWMBO a 16th month old filly (thats a horse, by the way), so she gave the royal nod.....

...a new lush paint job - 'gone black' as Robbo told me ;)

Here is the side panel, with the newly implanted gold grill.

Wheels at powder coat, and I have some new discs to install as well.

More pics to follow.

..........it is so very nearly there Ian - it just needs a battery charge, brake bleed and a damn good clean.

The pics above really do not do it justice.

Thansk to Rich for the sooperb job on the wheels and Jaws for his invaluable advice, parts and never-diminishing pateince when dealing with my thico-sod phonecalls!!!

I'll post a daylight piccy, once all the above has been done..
