FB Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 following Markys convo, this is the mark II version. So far: resprayed the chassis black in my hi tech spray room with designer wheel masking :...needs a few touch ups made up a new hitch with FP's resin cast version, also needs a few touch ups and pipes added (TM ;)) sprayed the main bed black. This will also be fitted with timbers as Markys. Hoping to have red trim though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
