    Well the body work is coming along on the Turbo, All but the belly pan has has decals removed, primed and top coated in silver alloy, which isn't too bad a match
    Body work back on to line up the new decals before lacquer

    Decals should go on tommorow, then lacquer, as many coats as possible
    Belly pan not done as needs fibreglassing around the casing holes

    I can't believe how good they look!

    Still watching your 600 - I think the flight would cost more than it's going for!

    Glad to see that you're making progress! FYI- I used a R6 fuel pump with a 12V solenoid valve for my fuel system. It pumps plenty of fuel without overpressuring the PRV.

    Sell one of the cars....I own one car, one truck for buying bikes, pulling the boat and backup in case the car breaks....and a garage full...hmmm, and basement full of bikes!!
