Default Having reached a stage where several bits...

...have been temporarily fitted to the carcass of my PV for future transportation to me new house I thought I'd share a few pictures showing the controversial bare metal finish.

(Note ty-wraps and tape hold most pieces in place so the gaps aren't even close to being where I want them to be - this is a loose fitting of bits to get them safely to the next workshop)









he finish definitely falls in the "delightfully dreadful" category that I was trying to achieve. I am happy with it but it does need a bit of colour as well...

...I thought it would...

...I knew it would (!) it is essentially a silver car which can turn out to be rather boring.

I might go for some go faster stripes - erm - sorry - I mean "pin stripes" on this forum!
