Yes I love it. So 'in yer face'...as if you can't see or hear it coming lol. And cheap but tough paint so if it gets marked I can just zap over it. More Robbie porn :hahaha:

I have to agree with the above comments, Great work and a great car but that shade of green is putrid. Sorry.

If you re-read my post it says Great Work And Truck, It's just the colour i'm not keen on.

So not slagging your work at all.

What with all the bikes not much has been done recently, but today the bumper got the brushed on paint sanded off and a respray. Just for the hell of it as a winch bumper will be fabricated soon. And I finally got around to changing the rusty and odd sized wheel nuts...only bought them 8 months ago :hahaha:

Devoted today to fixing the damn grille. Very flimsy plastic so it had to be sanded by hand. I used a plastic paint and slowly built up the layers to hide all the imperfections. Bolted it on and took a pic then realised I had forgotten to put in the wire mesh inserts. OK...got them out of the workshop (4 of them) and put them on the wing and started screwing them in. Noticed one is missing. Not possible as I had put all 4 on the wing. Searched everywhere for the missing one and then decided to just make one...and as I was looking for my spare mesh I spotted the absent one...underneath newspaper on a work bench. How the hell it migrated from the wing to there is beyond me. I swear I have a plotergeist lol.

Anyway it's done and on.
