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 :th:

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 Image Image

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? :wall:

And how do you rate the zero paints?

:cheers2:
