Alan P Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) The detail is eye wateringly good. That heavy wash really makes it pop out. The rotor hub looks amazing, along with the distressed paint finish. Inspirational stuff! 👏👏👏 Alan PS. I had to double take at your title, you might consider rephrasing it 😂 Edited May 12, 2019 by Alan P 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Very much the sort of machine that only a mother could love but you've done an excellent job of minimizing it's lack of beauty & made a stunning job along the way. Great detailing on display there. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
