I agree - what a transformation though with the clean and crisp look!

Due to a full colour change I've just had to do mine too.












Painting is the easy bit, its the stripping and masking that's a pain in the ****.

Bizarrely until it was painted all the work was done on my drive too.
However I when i got it back from the painters it would have been criminal to leave it on the driveway lol. I cleaned the garage out. Although the car goes in there its impossible to work on it when its in.

I miss the garge at my old place 18ft wide and 36 ft long

Re: Brake lines and cylinder they were suprisingly easy to remove. Much easier than I thought.

I know that feeling mate. This is the third colour in the 14 months i've owned it.

Fruits of todays Labour putting all the bits and pieces back on.
