Thanks :D

Going to layer up and go and spray another layer on the flip front, might nick Dans idea of the Nitromors and clean the Rocker cover & Radiator cap back to shiny metal.

Went out and sprayed another layer of Stonechip, didn't get round to the Nitromors though. I've got so much college work to do before I go back, so I'll get that done today & then tomorrow my package from Mini Spares should come, fuse box & horn so whilst I'm out I'll get the Nitromors and clean them down.

Think I'm done with the Stonechip, 2 layers down. I don't want to do 3 because it's an odd number and would annoy me, and I won't have enough for 4. So 2 will do fine.

What a joke! I sent payment for the hinges on the 24th, the estimated date of clearance is the 13th! >_< & other things like the stickers & lights won't clear until the 5th-6th, I sent that payment on the 23rd! :)

That seems like a hell of a long time! Is that using paypal e-cheque, with me they take 5-7 working days?
Better late than never i guess.

College work is such a drag, ive got 3 assignments to do by tuesday, painful! ;)

Nice idea with the stonechip on the frontend but not sure if i want to do it with mine, shows all the lovely kevlar >_<

I don't know why it's taking so long but I'm not really that fussed seeing as I'm not waiting on those parts, I'm just eager to see them! I guess they'll arrive when they arrive.

Can be a drag at times but I just hate doing sketchbook work, I do Graphic Design so as soon as I get a brief I just start getting ideas down and crack on, I don't really bother with research and annotations.. so I've done my final bits, just gotta do all the boring sketchbook work! >_<

Well I wanted a bit more protection and it helps with the appearance, otherwise I would've had the yellowy fiberglass showing.

Package from Mini Spares turned up today whilst I was out, took the day off work to go walking in the Peak District, good fun ;D.

Couldn't buy a direct replacement for the horn I had now, so I hope this one doesn't sound too silly! Not that the original one didn't :) but I guess it's a legal requirement so I had no choice. I'll go out tomorrow morning and quickly do all the little jobs with the electrics, quite a bit of college work to get done but nothing serious.
