The SP needs no "enhancement" IMO. Complete class, end of

Just did everything sooo well.

Another nice job Mike

As they say in the USA awesome

I enjoyed following your progress when you were building/converting it

As you say, it would have been ideal if you could have kept it when you got the SP,

Chris.

That looks really nice. The swingarm and frame will really ping with the yellow.

Very nice job. Well done on the super quick strip & rebuild. Looks really cool. Are you going to pick any bling bits out? maybe polish the clutch cover "star"?

Still a couple of jobs I want to do, like replace the scabby oil lines and repaint the motor, but they'll wait until winter.

When I saw your photoshop pic (no disrespect intended to you) I was not so sure but, I have to say that is looking pretty damm good to me Mike

I think the black goes well against the yellow paint work.

What are you intending to replace the oil lines with

Ford Sea grey metallic is almost an exact match for the engine casings, if a little glossy.

Now I do like the look of that......might have to steal that one for myself

What did you use to polish the heel plates?
