Dum Dum DUUUUUUM!!!!!!

sorry for not updating frequently. cause the painting took soooo long, i didn't want to keep posting the same pics of the car in a pretty dismal state.

but anyway, after much perseverance, it's finally done and its now sitting under harvinder's front porch.

so without further ado, i will showcase highlights of the car's painting stages just to get all you readers up to speed.

Use your imagination at this point. :)

must keep you guys in suspense at least till the chrome bits and windscreen are all up. actually, its because i haven't been able to take a good picture of it with lighting from the sun. my trusty k750i is not a dSLR you know.

a last pic which i think needs no explanation.

at the moment, i'm leaving the rocker and timing chain cover in its original shabby form as it won't hamper performance or what not...it'll just be draining money to paint it. i'll do it at a later time at my own accord.

hope you like it so far. :)
