Cheers fella. Once this project is finished I have one more in the pipeline. It will be rally inspired, painted in my regimental colours (red over green ) and I will be entering as many banger rally's as possible ( Benidorm or bust, rust to Rome, Monte Carlo or bust, crumball rally etc etc ) to raise money for help the heroes.

I've served and work on the circuit with some fantastic operators and some sadly never made it home. Time for me to give something back as I'm here, home and safe! I have a lot of ideas of how the next one will be but untill this one is complete I can't start it.

Anyway thank you once again for your comments.

Amazing build. You guys are very fortunate. Is south africa finding new spares is extremely difficult. And ordering from the uk doubles the price instantly and in some cases tripple. Keep up the exellent work

I can very well believe that fella. Sometimes it's the same for us. For example there is a 7 port head that you can buy from New York State and it works out at around £800, postage isn't bad at all at around £100 but its custom charges that hit us here. I'm not sure on how much would be added on as I don't know the system but I would have thought it would near double it so you might aswell buy one from the uk in the end!

Hey fella thanks so much for the comment. Yeah I started the task today, it really is tedious but a lot of effort at this stage will pay of when I come to spray, especially the candy which I'm not looking forward to lol.

Have you got a project on the go?
