old gh bug · #1 September 30th 2009, 17:43

Thanks all for kind remarks and support i am building this on a tight budget at the moment but have most bits to finish
i do have a scat interior to go in but i think i may change for something else

in total the paint job cost me about £250 including spray booth "Gazebo " which worked really well i did have a bit of help from my good friend Paul painting it well he did the roof and mixed the paint i did the rest as he is taller than me

I will update with pics when more progress is made
thanks Garry

You've done a real kick ass job so far, those pictures spell out the hark work you've put into it for those who have done it themselves. I can't wait to see more progress!

As for the flasher relay, if you don't change out the stock relay the lights will blink very fast. What you need to get is a relay specifically for LED lights which can be found online fairly cheap.

Budgets are usually tight. But some thing usually eat up most of the cost. I have at least 6 (SIX) Grand already tied up in engine parts and work alone, and most done by me. http://www.germanlook.net/forums/album.php?albumid=22 Guess i will have to get a gazebo and learn how to paint. just so i can stay on whats left in my budget.
