i'd go single tone for the same reason as jay......its a biast thing!!

had afew things plated Where did you get this done ?? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hi guys been on holiday so have abit to catch up on Quote: Originally Posted by Danny05 what did you pollish your covers with,did you just 400 it and then 1500 it then polish it????? 2 tome vlcy's all the way a,wouldnt have mine any other way or colour yes thats right 400 to get rid of silver paint,then 1500 or 2000 to smooth off 400 marks then used autosol polish using a soft cloth,around edges of cover where rough castings are I used a air driven die grinder with a fine sanding disc to smooth out but be careful as it can cause round scratch marks that are even harder to remove cheers Mike had the chroming done by Otahuhu electroplaters A step closer fitted doors with new hinge pins up front, back ones were like new still Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Very Very cool I like it alot......

stripped out front and rear suspension Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
