Thanks, now if only a could find a new exhaust

Excellent work, as the others say "learning" from your post.

Where did you source the wheel balancing adapter for paddock stand, or was it an adapted adapter!

I'm watching but I don't think its going in. 
But one thing I do know is the F1 looks best in yellow.

Is that an import frame martin, way too clean for a UK one,

Its Uk, but picture looks better than reality, as lots of rusty areas but nothing too bad.

Nice to start with a fresh frame even if it takes ages to clean out all the threads

[Spitfire]

I remember when my frame looked like that, I was too scared to touch it !

Anyone know which way round indicator buzzer should go?

Resprayed instruments in Simoniz Satin Black, quite fiddly cleaning off rust and masking without stripping.
