big chris Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Yes when i bought it the engine blew on first road test had oil in it but i think it was a cheap detergant in it as it washed the engine inside and welded the caps to the crank!!! It was easier to get a engine than repair the old unit thanks chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big chris Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 i made the hoses up my self daz and the spring is also used for hydraulic hoses as protection looks kinda origional doesnt it if you need some let me know i will sort a price and i can carrier them to you if you wish hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big chris Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 not done much as busy at work but i have added some valves for the air brakes and more hoses daz they are not origional but they didnt cost me anything once they are red and yellow they wont look as bad and they work so thats all that matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big chris Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 good job our kid gave me a spell of the spray gun or my arm would have dropped off this morning, second top coat went on this morning plenty of paint on her now de masked every thing also i know its a bit sad but i painted the tyres while i was in the mood ,painted up the air valve taps as well as anything else i could think of please dont comment on the painted wheel nuts as i only had a large brush so only painted the stud tips looks ok though will get a small brush to finish the job dont worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 That looks very smart, well done. Don't worry about the tyre paint, I find it's much quicker to paint the tyres after you've sprayed them than it is to mask them first Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julezee001 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Great job! Just what I'd like to do to mine this week before W & P, but I fear I might run out of time. I hope those at the show appreciate all your hard work, and that you can have a relaxing time there. Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Very nice job and you certainly aren't boring us with the story.
