firstly the nose cone arrived at keiths damaged

this was fixed and there was much rejoicing

then keith went about converting my seat unit to take a FZR 400 rear light

he also welded my tubes onto the tank these were a snug fit for my
fake hoover pipes

after a few days of rubbing down ( he must have arms like tree trunks )

he had primered all the pieces

then a few more days of flatting and dry sanding then the base coat went on

This is the pic i sent keith as a guide

these are the pics i got today

I WANT IT BACK!

Looks very nice mate, liking that scheme and colours, looking at that i reckon he might be getting a call to do my panels.

That is looking seriously sweet!

Wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being featured in one of the classic magazines.

I'm drooling all over my keyboard here looking at the lovely work nasty's done. That is beautiful Paul. Can't wait to see it all put back together

Man oh man that looks seriously sweet!!!

I have the feeling Nasty will have to increase his prices, if only to put off all the requests for paint from the motley crew that reside on this forum!!

Top effort from the pair of you, looking forward to seeing it back together, providing my lot (Royal Mail) dont Fuck it up on the return journey

thanks for all the replys

i can imagine some of his customers can be verry picky with colours and
styles

i think he liked my 'go for it' attitude which to be honest makes the best
results

cant wait till next week when i get the next update and the long awaited

well nothing to report i'm afraid

i've been kept busy decorating getting ready for our new arrival in maybe
4 weeks

i did however pull up the spare room carpet and found a new home for it

and also ttreated myself to a paddock stand - the clothes rail is no longer needed

is all at a bit of a stop just waiting for the bodywork now

bled brakes put in new oil fiddled arround thats it

Carpeted garage, it's the future I tell ya!

The only problem is trying not to spill oil or petrol on it

Looking good mate, getting there.

Got to agree.

You can't beat wall to wall with a good shag.

there are down sides to a carpet in the garage as I found out

My place shares car and bike and machinery so in the winter the car bring all the snow in on the underside and then melts. This makes a right mess and never seems to dry out, hence carpet got scrapped.
Also if you're welding/grinding theres a good chance it'll catch fire

on a plus side, its comfortable to kneel on when working on or cleaning the bike

Thats the advantage of carpet tiles, you can replace them when you forget and weld inside!!

It's OK. Stig's a bit anal. And he built a bloody big garage so he has to justify it.
