Title: MK1 ULTRA BURNER BUILD, SO FAR..........
Post by: scotty b on April 23, 2011, 03:39 PM
just thought i'd drop a few pics on of my mk1 ultra build, i'm hoping it'll be finished for the bash. just waiting for a few bits to land back from being zinc plated & re-anodised.

not that i don't love spec models but just wanted to put my twist on it a little.

rims after they'd been broken down & handed to our polisher in the fab shop, i'm pretty chuffed with the sideshines

frame, forks & bars after a few hours of nitro mors & wire wool, missus weren't happy about the state ileft the kitched in.

then for the decals, i went in dry; but you could have i applied em wet the way my skin was leaking.
