Well project HH has at this time been suspended as Im off in an hour to pick eamonns HH build that was selling on here, couldnt let it go, altho i am gonna break it down and rebuild it, the trx forks off it will go onto the cromo making it a Kuwahara Nova, which ill get stickered up, leaving the brown cromo to have a think on and may get that powdered black as a custom cromo, the Rhino is almost at a point where i can say ive made it my own by stripping back the blue and adding black, koizumi team aero pro i need to finish off, i think im gonna sell the silver streak f&f for peanuts as its never gonna get a look in, the proburner sitting pretty so... yea 1 or 2 on the go at the moment ... :laugh:
