[gsxrdaz]

Parts primed

[gsxrdaz]

Wheels painted, not finished!

[Paul]

Nice one daz, looking good mate

[gsxrdaz]

Photo etch chain set and brake discs nearly done. very time consuming and not so easy job to do

[gsxrdaz]

Thanks Paul, getting there

[gsxrdaz]

Frame and swinging arm filled and painted using Zero paints

[Paul]

Daz just so you know you can post more than one pic in a post, so you can just have one long post then, makes it easier for us all to read mate

[gsxrdaz]

Painted engine in the frame now. I seperated the airbox from the engine for easier painting and carbon fibre-ing as you will see later

[gsxrdaz]

Cheers Paul, im new to this as you can see lol

[Paul]

Cheers Paul, im new to this as you can see lol

It's no problem mate, looking good though

[gsxrdaz]

Airbox carbon fibre'd, wheels finished and radiator sorted.

[Paul]

Wheels look great, is the carbon fibre a stick on film?

[gsxrdaz]

Heres where im upto right now, need to get my ass in gear to get this finished as i have lots more to start on. Any questions or criticisms appreciated. Hope you all like, cheers

[gsxrdaz]

Hi,

Great work.

Pascal

[Wizard]

Looking awesome mate!

I fancy using the aftermarket chain on some of my future builds, are they as much of a nightmare to put together as they look?

And how do you rate the zero paints?



Rich

[ChubberLang]

Very sexy! Looking forward to the outcome

[Twistedsniper42]
