Ok, this has been on hold for a month or so.
The main reason is because i have another S1, non frame breather, i decided to reframe that for this FB one, as i need to do a few little frame mods. and didnt want ot do it to a FB frame. ive also wanted to add another splash of colour to it and this had given me the opportunity. It was also booked in for the Classic motor show at the NEC on the Awfully Pleasant stand, so i had to wait untill that finished. :)

I sprayed the FB frame and a replacement kickstart side panel in preparation :D i also put some vents in the panels :)

^^ Bare metal jacket was a hint :D

Well its been quite a while since ive had time to work on this , and winter has turned into spring ! Ive had a few "spare" days over the last month or so, and ive managed to crack on a bit with the bodywork.
This is the mock up of the look i wanted

I also had an idea for a paint job that i certainly had never seen before, basically patterns linished into the metal and then clear coated. Thats going to look fantasic and i thought i had "invented" a new finish. 8-) So after a bit of research, i discovered id been beaten to it :oops: lol which then introduced the idea of a colour (candy ) over the top .
So long story short , this is where i am at the moment :)
