i wondered if you would ever get it finished, looks great. did you get it rechromed?

Title: Re: My GHP finally completed
Post by: subwax on July 24, 2005, 05:49 PM

Thanks for all the kinds words, guys.

Darren - No, didnt rechrome - just polished it a fair bit, especially around the bottom bracket.

I think eventually I will get a rechrome done, if only for it to be perfect, but its really quite clean at the moment, so I'll concentrate on the 100 other projects I need to finish. The decals I have used are not 100% perfect either. Until some are repro's, or I find some originals (yeah right!!!), I'll stick with her as she is.

Anyone out there with a GHP Pro 1 or 2 - please let me know.

Cheers

Neil

Thanks John.

San - I actually wanted to get some SST hubs and an ESP stem on it, but you know how rare those parts are to get. I have been tantalisingly close at times, but still no cigar.
