Nice work Chris - did it feel like you were putting on an old pair of gloves again?

Yes, nicely put Ruairidh! There are a few things I need to get used to - a crash box for one! Plus a few odds and sods to finish off, but it feels tremendous to be mobile again!

Thanks Ian. It's available from Craftmaster Paints, just ask for 'KC Red'!!
I had to re-paint due to bodywork repairs but they did a pretty good job of matching the old colour.

Thanks Robert. She won't be at Beaulieu this time I'm afraid as I'm still fiddling about with various bits and pieces and I don't want to rush it. Plus there's nowhere to put the shopping I have in mind!

Out of interest - what's the item on the rear cover? Small rectangle. Perhaps a pad for the hood frame to sit against? Not something I've noticed before.
