whats wrong with the colour? looks good to me

bluehaze · Jul 23, 2010

Looks tidy enough to me

Langers · Jul 23, 2010

Yup mine is more faded than that... don't respray unless you can get a proper pukka 100% job done, otherwise you'll regret it when it all starts bubbling off.

Looks nice though, what exactly have you done to her during the course of your project?

Bayden_uk · Jul 23, 2010

hi all, i just don't like the color

if i was going to get a respray i would most sertanly gunna get a proper job done.

when i got the project i was expecting alot of work but the more i done to it the less work i found didnt need to be done, i didnt do alot. im quite guttered actualy, so im gunna carry out the rest of the projesct in cosmetics. theres still alot i want to get checked out. still havent sorte the knocking noise from the rear end. buster thinks the Aframe ball joint so im gunna replace that next week. id like to get it looking tip top. all in good time eh

well that's looking pretty damned good comparing it with the photos you had of it when you first bought it. It scrubbed up alright

There might be summit in here ye could use...

But the easiest way to check them is to jack up a corner at a time, remove rubber dust cap, rock the wheel gently back and forth and look to see if there's a bit of play between the flange and 1/2 shaft and check to see if the splines are worn

Thanks everyone! FINALY!!!
