Ok another yearly update

Dissertation's ****ing with my head so taking a break to post this.

Lee, I and a few others have been doing a bodywork and spraying course in tech the past few months and after plastic welding and smoothing bumpers for her own project I took the wee sportster tank for this bike in one night to repair it and let her learn to spray properly on it. Turned out even better than I imagined never mind it being her first proper spray job Not a flaw in it.

It's Suzuki Swift Suprime Red. It's a hard colour to picture and it's bright red in the sun and the gold flake really bounces and in the shade it's almost burgandy red.

A few W.I.P. pics:

Pic of it showing the gold flake:

[Sharkey]

Colour is fantastic tho

 

[Rfg]

love the colour!!

 

[natogreen16v]

**** the dissertation sharkey. Cant be bothered any more.

Cheers folks, well stoked about the colour and finish. It was between this and Imola red. think i chose well.

 

[BigP]

What happened with this?

 

[natogreen16v]

the polo has taken over Ben

the tank's sittin in my room and the frame and associated bits are in my workshop. It needs wire wheels and wired to finish it just but Polo comes first then this is next.

 

[Daisy]

Whats happening now Connor? Any more progress....

 

[Bono872]

No progress Daisy . I think it's safe to say there'll be no progress on this on this until at least after March '13. He's too busy with work and the polo which is due to be debut at Ultimate Dubs I'm sure he'll try to get the chopper in some shape for the summer. He can never not have a project on!

 

[Saunts]

anymore info on that spraying course? i'd love to do something like that during the week.

 

[Nicky]

Do you want me to call up and collect this so it can get finished once and for all? I've stripped, rebuilt and then modified a fleet in the time it's taken you to update this thread, never mind start to finish... Lol

 

[natogreen16v]

its sitting in bits and to finish it it needs assembled and wired. which won't be for a while :-P

the painting was just a night course at my local tech. I've painted for years just sorta self taught but picked up so much at it.

 

[r6kyl]

Any more updates? I want to see this thing finished

 

[natogreen16v]

nope lol

 

[106lad]

 

[natogreen16v]

I've no money for the polo atm so come march i may finally build it lol

 

[r6kyl]

.........lol march is long gone now

 

[natogreen16v]

Next march will be long gone too lol. Im struggling to do anything atm bar work at other people's things as that costs me nothing.

I've to rewire my dads bike from scratch so it'll gimme a bita practice for this if I ever get cash together. Bloody *****.
