an update from today...

the rust on the bottom corner of the bonnet and stone chips was doing my head in a bit so had it resprayed



we got it all flat and primerd ready to be sprayed, we sprayed it red first time then fitted it but it looked out of place due to the rest of the flame pink car.. so decided to spray it gloss black, its not finished yet and a crap picture as it was getting dark before i got back home, but heres the picture anyway, still not sure on it to be honest.

well ive decided im keeping the car till my insurance is due to renewal and a few months have passed and ive brought nothing for it.

im collecting a set of south african rear lights for it next week which i hope will look nice

but the main bit is down to torsa g and his powers of giving people ideas, i know i will get replys like why are you doing this and why dont get you a 1.6 or all the usual comments but this is something different, im looking to run suzuki gsf 600 bike carbs im having a custom inlet made up aswell so it will be better for the carbs, hopefully i have this done mid november running on fine with the fueling okay and the jets hopefully around 1.3/1.4 max but its a trial and error game really
