Blue man Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I wonder if anybodys done this before but as I have never seen a tank like this before in the whole of Ireland I decided to change it. I had this in my mind for ages and hope fully it will become an Abbey.Does anyone do Abbey 2000 decals and does anyone know an match to Abbey red.Remember I am only 12 so this will not be perfect. 1.I took off the injector and pipes. 2.I picked up the hacksaw and started cutting this picture shows where I cut it.
