As Keith Lemon says It's a "POTATO"   Decided to get my 31k tanks painted by Norbo's painter, got one off ebay the other day, rust free and only one small dent so getting that done to replace the one on my hybrid so it is perfect and in 2K. Also had the spud pictured above in the garage, another ebay purchase last year, again mint inside and looked a bit out of shape but was shocked when I stripped it how bad it really was. Getting this done in RZR red/black on white scheme after lusting too long after it. Time will tell if it can be saved, here hopes. Steve |

Do they cut the bottom out, beat it straight then weld back up? then use filler?

Well they are back, took longer than expected as painter was having some personal problems but worth the wait.    Steve |

Surprisingly cheap, I supplied the decals but still cheaper than I expected for the quality. Steve |

They look good and far more "a peeling" than some photos from a while back!. Its worth the wait to have them done to your satisfaction. At my time of life selling half of ones gonads is definitely worth doing to get a good paint job. Mr grunt would Sidney be happy about you selling nuts?

bloody nice job, but didnt know england was 300 miles long. If it was only 300 miles life would be easier, takes 100 miles to get to the English border from Glasgow. Steve |

That tank looks great, definitely tempting me towards getting my bodywork done as part of my rebuild....
