I'm going to post some pics in the gallery(should put the cat amongst the pigeons )
progress has been slow as i've been busy on customers work(bloody annoying, but pays the bills), also waiting to move into a MUCH bigger workshop.
so. decided to clear the work schedule for 2 weeks to get the car finished(also spend some time with jnr, as its the school hols)
week 1 went well, with a lot of the final moulding/fettling of bodywork sorted, then an episode with my zzr1100, a wet road & some diesel put me in hosp for a few days & i'm NOT supposed to do any "work" for 2 weeks other than gentle exercise.
ever get the feeling some-one up there's got it in for you?
so its 3/4 done, needs the re-spray finishing(more artwork, as it keeps developing-should have it all done by end of week-but dont quote me on that)
mechanically, it needs an exhaust system, the turbo fitted, brakes overhauled, clock, oil, temp gauges fitting, the switches for the turbo installing(havent got a clue about those)trim re-fitted, so expect it out & about next spring
the paintjob has gone from a mild chameleon(mostly black, with a blue-green "flip" to what you see in the gallery-a bit OTT for my liking, but its got to be a working car as much as a toy, hence the artwork-should drum up some trade for the "custom" side of my business.
let me know if i need to hang my head in shame, & leave the forum
