Time and effort well spent there Mark. The attention to detail, filing out the fork drops for a top hat, is amazing and looks the dogs  :daumenhoch:

As been said, many would have just scrapped it and a credit to the four owners for actually passing it on and not doing that.

The colour though, WOW........Awesome

 :4_17_5: class job Mark, well done  :coolsmiley:
