Love all the dangly bits, do you think my "bank manager" would let me do the same in our living room or would it be better to do it in the kitchen and hide it all a wee bit between the pots and pans?

Also, what primer(s) have you used - looks very smooth and even!

[alexandermclaren]

thanks stag
u-pol primer
its got about two or three coats
waiting for the better weather before i spray the gloss
might spray the underside just to let me make more progress

Nice and steady progress, great job! That golden gearbox looks amazing, not that usual!

[whyperion]

Thought the gold colour indicated a unipart Gold Seal ( BLMC factory refurbished ) box / engine

[alexandermclaren]
