    thanks guys !

    done the bay today … fully stripted sanded and sealed …..was going to go the full on smothed look but decided against it!

    so scuffed the paint applied one coat of epoxy to seal up metal/paint then fired some thinned stone chip down so it was a slight textured look then made up a grey from bmw pure silver and panther black :rolleyes: then 3 coats of debeer clear coat

    thought grey bay would be a nice contrast on black !

    now i am going to simplify the wiring as i am using standalone ecu i can get rid of the bulk of bay wiring just keep wires for the wipers and the lights = i will chop these at the fuse box and run a new extended loom down the legs on both sides

    then i am into the engine / strip down/sandblast/clean/ paint and fit the throttle boddies

    pics to come as it happens
