So with Gold parts being more expensive than Gold and come up forsale as often as moon rocks I decided I had to make my own stuff up. So the parts were sourced, stripped and prepped for anodising. Once done off they went to Jay at chameleon  :smitten:






Next step was to fit the rivet, I had pondered doing this for sometime and thought stuff it I'm going to do it. I borrowed a home made tool of a friend called Michael Stobie, ive no idea what he is called on here. He uses the tool with a hammer and I wanted more control so I opted for the 2 tonne press at work. Parts are here and sat in the garage and I cant wait until tomorrow so I have a little go in my vice...................and i couldn't believe it worked and it was soooooo easy !!!!!!!!










So with that working really well it was time for some painting, decals and building

Looks great. I've always sworn by Autosol too. It has a solvent in it that just literally wipes rust off. I will keep an eye on this, loving that ano, looks nice and dark like it should !
