That's a real shame about the blistering chrome Ray... that's why I always double nickel plate all the turbo pipework, as on the prototype. Even when it goes blue, you can simply polish it back to bright nickel no problem. Better than ceramic I think personally. I know I just love the look of chrom...

Beautiful project! thanks - it had seen better days and sat in my garage since I bought her , 10 yrs ago - so it was sell or do what I had planned to - so far around 180 hrs in it I bought from a car garage who had emptied tins of alu spray paint over everything and painted the nuts gloss black....

some progress

The F came is two very nice colours, the Candy Sky Blue and the Candy Yellow (Brown) either looks good on a Triple. Owned two H1''s and a H2 and I'd take an H1 every time. They're still mad as a box of Frogs, but in a way that makes you giggle, not pi55 you off. Enjoy. like it , I have an F and and...
