Neat looking paint job Phil well worth the wait!

What did you do where the fuel tap fits leave as bare metal or paint?

Actually is does. Those photos are a year old or so old. I think the colour is described as candy presto red. I’m pretty sure is one of two colours for the 77 F2, the other being blue?

Aaaah, thought you were on with another one. Mine was supposed to be blue originally but even after 12 layers of paint I never did find any….
Although layer 4 might have been the original looking at the photo again…..

Bloody hell Menno, that looks awesome.

Us leaving the EU has really buggered up having you do the paintwork, I voted to leave and I'm not sorry I did but there are disadvantages.

Yup, another outstanding set by Menno. Unfortunately it wasn’t an option on my budget, but if things were different financially I’d have them in a heartbeat.
