Thanks. Smile

New handrails are on the menu tonight.. I will post some photos later if it all goes to plan!

Ok, I didnt get started on the handrails but I did add a windshield wiper and rear view mirrors.

I set out with good intentions last night to get the handrails done but the fiddly shape got to me and I gave up for the night.

I did one of the front corner rails (it still needs cleaning up) and I filled the big holes left by the chunky plastic ones. I will drill into the filler to mount the rails.







Tomorrow I hope to get the right shade paint to touch up where required.

Just a little bit tonight,

Added some paint to all the brass handrails I fitted and gave the rear fender a lick of paint.









You can see the mirror finish a bit better here.

Looking good Martin. I remember the main railings were a bit of a pain to form.

Yeah, I've done one of the front corners but I've stopped there for a bit. You have to be in the right frame of mind to start doing them or you end up loosing the plot!

Coming along nice Martin. Really makes me want to attempt that sort of project to my WA900-3. How did you go about cutting the slats in the grill?Think
