You should paint them in that MG purple and green flip flop paint. That would properly f*ck with your eyes when it overtakes you!

So, today I have got the bottom end back together, sumps on and auxiliaries all back on the block.
Head is skimmed soon and picking up bits from Jake when I get cash, can't wait for this

So this week I decided to pull my finger out and sort various bits, mainly the wheels. Spent about 4 hours sanding the 2 wheels down to bare metal and then etch primates them 2 layers, 3 layers of normal primer, 3 layers of paint and now top coat!
