Well, yeah, but you did buy it from a known offender :wink:
you're lucky you got a key with it :roll:

I'm sure it'll look great when finished mate.

I look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

Looks really well and I take my hat off to you for getting it all back (or should I say black) together. How many bits did you have left over??

Now then, about the colour of that spring :wink:

Matt,

Well done. That black frame does look much better than the original silver version. :thumbright:

Cheers,

Paul
You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

Very smart.

Hmmm... you got me thinking now. Captain Black would look good tricked out like that!
