Project Kawasaki Green 56k warning!!

[Nobby]

I bought this little ripper about 2 months back for ?150 with 12 months mot. I intended to clean the arches up and sell it for twice wat i paid as its quite mint. But however things have changed and now im keeping her. The doors are mint and the sills battery tray, boot etc but she does need a new set of rear arches and a n/s front wing. I have bout me a full gmax kit and some cavi gsi wheels which i have sprayed gloss black (took me ages 2 rub the fukers down) i work next to a bodyshop so i am going to do a semi self prep (no rushing for sure) have got me new rear arch panels and ordering the wiong next week then hopefully before xmas maybe after i will get her respayed in Kawasaki Green. I no there is a few bin done before but none round here and a certain eye catcher im keeping it going to keep it a mk1 gte rep. The after xmas towards may i will treat her to a new lump probz a c16se The fun starts!! (Sorry about the S.A )

Good progress, are you doing all the bodywork yourself?

yes and no . The arches were welded on at the bodyshop and all my preping is being done there, with the advise of the bodyshop and help so its all good spent 3 full days sanding it down and filling over and over but its not quite there yet then the bodyshop will spray it next week. Changed colour its no going to be Aprilla Green instaead of kawasaki green
