As some of you know I managed to get hold of an MRD Expert F&F recently... anyway here begins another project.

Got it last week, chrome pretty much shot and defintely needed a re-chrome or powdered in white...

Frame as I got it:-

tempted to do white as I love white frames but I want this one like it was so a re-chrome it is... took it to my "local" chrome platers to de-chrome it first so I could do some of the polishing myself as they never get into all the awkward bits. Got it back yesterday:-

Set about flatting it off last night using various grades of wet 'n dry paper and spent another 4-5hours on it today, its getting there but loads more time is needed on it, I cant do anymore today as my fingers are red raw:-

Also picked up my 7X rims from the powdercoaters today and built up my wheels... my fingers are completely sore now!

I also made the decals for the frame but you all know what MRD decals look like!

Anyway... that's it for now... I'll post more as I get more done.

Definately some blood sweat and tears in that polishing job Del. It looks well worth it though. Those araya's look sweet too. Can't wait to see this come together.

Got it back from the chrome platers today, not too bad, the frame had some really heavy pitting but its better than when I first got it.

Decals applied
