That bike is so clean. Seems a shame to get it dirty. You dont need body work to ride it either. Just bang on a seat and give her a spin. :unibrow:

I think the spray job is on hold for the moment, going to get it MOT`ed and have a couple of weeks riding as it is, then decide if to do it myself or get it done proffessionally.
