Phwaaaaarrrr
yeah after seeing that i think i will put my soud proofing in.
im toying with the idea of a green engine... just to keep it looking retro.... but im not sure if black will look better?
what does everyone think?
also i was considering rubbing back the top of the radiator aswell.... but not sure how long itll last before it tarnishes.... =/

Like all brasswork coedy you would need to polish it regularly to keep the shine, Brasso works well every so often I personally think that the dark green would look better than black but its what you think looks good that counts. jc |

Waste of time asking me Coedy. I'm a dyed in the wool retro Mini man, so only Green will do for me. |
