Latest additions to my turbo.
GREMLIN:
Yup, Lee's spot on. I sourced it through Andy (funmonster). ;)
It was like all my Xmas's rolled into one when i unwrapped the frame and forks set. :smitten:
So a huge shout to Andy for supplying the frame/forks, parts and lotsa help. Lee for the finish, decals and lotsa advice, Ian for helping me along the way with trying to source a chrome Araya set. And everyone else who helped me along the way. The list is long and distinguished... You know who you are :daumenhoch: Gav.

gav ! the turbo looks the bizzzzz mate :daumenhoch:.. for those who are thinking about getting it done my guy can do the finish as thin or heavy as u like , i just wanted to keep the chrome visable undrerneath other wise if it goes too deep it will just look like a normal paint job colour ... im not saying its 100% accurate but it prety damn good .... gav are they the nos cranks u got of andy too ?? i would like to see the finish on them to for comparison , i bet an original turbo tint has faded somewhat 20+ year on due UV , and being cleaned over the years .. so im matchin up to a finish that may be a few shades of and original nos tone if u get me .. also the chrome underneath must be pretty good to otherwise u will see the imperfections....
munners:
