Yes I`m pleased about the paint job,for rattle cans,but i`ve put a laquer over the matt from the cans,build on hold now bottom casing has got a snapped stud and a crack in it i`d missed them before Mick spotted them else I`d have built it with an oil slick behind me.

Right back on track ,the snapped studs were fixed by a good friend of the Hobbo`s who is a speedway rider for not a lot of money, so now the bottom end is together and in the frame,

I`ve had a good look at the combustion chamber and there are no cracks
