Not perfect, I'm not a bodyman, but it looks pretty good.

Cheers, Steve
Looks good Steve! The Honda Rio Red looks a good match.

Cheers, SB

Thanks SB, it's not a professional job, but looks a lot better than what it did.

Cheers, Steve

Haha, thanks Indiana, I'd love the trip, considering I used aerosols it came out well, I bought a tin of clear lacquer as well but don't think I need it, quite shiney without. Just need to get a small touch-up paint to sharpen one of the lines.

Cheers, Steve

Nice Indy and you'll love 'em

tonight finished off installation and testing of rebuilt carbs on the 1990

1 st false start - pin hole in the fuel line at back of tank - fixed
took off like a bat out of hell - but halfway through town- coasted to a halt

Sting of expletives getting dark prospect of pushing her 1/2 mile home !

DUH ! - never turned the petcock back on in my eagerness to test her out.

Needless to say the 1990 with stick coils and new jetted carbs - simply screams

Tomorrow the 87 gets the 1990's oem carbs - well - for a while anyhow until another
jet kit and pipes show up for it.
