P5's interior is now all finished as is the exterior bar a few little touch up jobs on the black bits...and P6 got a new sand blasted door latch from Scottie, a quick lick of paint and that went on as did a foot rest for those, err, 'eventful' moments :hahaha:

Doing my best to get Piglet6 ready for Billing. Put the refurbed door on and the more I look at it the more I like it..so the original Kawasaki racing green stands. The other door is on as I am going laning tomorrow (today) with Anton but it will be whipped off and painted the same. Got one last visit to my friend Stu before the meet to sort out any niggles and there are a bunch. The new gauges the cb and the stereo are all not working. Maybe a fuse but could be down to all the crap wiring. A new cigarette lighter socket needs wiring in as I need some power source for phone..laptop..and to pump up my mattress lol. At least I have sorted out the coolant leak with new hoses and she is using no oil at all. My first with any Suzuki!

Really? Having looked at my SJ all day, you decide to call your LJ's bodywork "awful"???
