It's the MC's that get me confused.
I had a both a Tri-arm and Gull-arm and I’m sure the latter was NC29 and not NC26

I think you're right. The NC26 was the 'Steed'.

This isn’t getting sold, it’ll sit in the garage looking cool and get wheeled out for a few classic Trackdays 👍

Forks finished being fitted later so that’ll be front end done. Rear subframe back so rear end can be built too.

Chinese bodywork ready and had an email today to approve the paint…..they sent pics can anyone see the problem 😂😂😂

But they are changing it and I’ve asked for the 2 panels that are wrong as well as part of me likes them

Halfords grey primer and silver paint. Had them properly blasted and degreased first. 3 coats primer sanding in between then 4 coats of silver sanding between coats.

So now back on the wheels got a big cleaning task ahead before the exhaust, radiators and bodywork are fitted. I'll only fit them when it's as clean as it can be
