Just a quick update as i'm currently boarding out my attick.

All arches are welded and clean...the mesh is in place,she is now black(hammer finish), and the cage is lumo orange!

Left to do......... Weld up the passenger foot well as i forgot to do it before i painted :oops: :lol:
need to get another can of lumo spray as i ran out...plus its not quite bright enough yet:lol: :lol: ,fit the shocks(may spray them too...lumo of course)Fit the light guards, then the chequer arch's...then its just putting the trim back on and the soft top...! :twisted:

O.......and also the legal part...log book needs sending off due to colour change,a phone call to the insurer's for the mod's and tax... 8-)

and pic's will be posted when i have few mins to get a pc. :-)
