Project VX - Complete - Sold - Find me a 125/180 2t cheap!

Re: Project VX

100% clear coat it mate. Makes the colours proper pop and will protect the paint. Then give it a polish. I bought compound but my uncle says it is quite risky on cellulose, a polish will do fine

 

Re: Project VX

ah cheers lads best order some clear then. :thumbsup:

Re: Project VX

looks sweeet jeff, im going to have to nick your idea on glassing the foot panels into one on next runner i do thats how they should of been made at the facotry

 

Re: Project VX

Hehe cheers Billy, yeah go for it mate, trade marked though :beee:

Ty minor. Where abouts? You wouldn't believe how much crap has stuck to the panels from sitting in the shed, they look terrible and it has taken the gloss away, really need to polish them but gonna wait till bike is complete

 

Re: Project VX

what i don't get when preping a panel is what happens if you sand a portion too much? and then it's uneven cratch: i guess it's one of those quetions that can only be answered if u actually do it :good:

Re: Project VX

Probs would star but I got a limit on what to spend, would of done renthals otherwise.

SNEAKY UPDATE (28/08/2009)

Dad has been a busy man down the shed making up a couple of parts I need :mrgreen:

First up is the undertray bracket, mounted on the seatbucket and holds underneath the undertray nice and secure so it won't go anywhere :grin:





Next up is this little beast that is in the process of becoming a numberplate holder
Some of you may remember the GILERA180 bracket he made, it will be a bit different to that.





Still a work in progress but good so far. Also crazyjames sorted me out some brand new mudguard screws :cheers:

UPDATE (06/09/2009)

Was a longer job than I thought but I had to take the casing off and give that a good polish. Then I had some screws bought a while back, polished them then relised they were too big so had to cut them down and thread them more because the shoulder was too big. But anyway, did that and fitted the airbox and bit infront, also the rear mudguard. So everything was there to start her up but then my battery power back was dead so gonna start it up Wednesday :mrgreen:

Pics from today:

 

Re: Project VX

Looking gd Jeff :grin:

That Airbox looks kinda out of place cratch: but cant quite think y lol

 

Re: Project VX
