In the Cali Corner ... GT_Lover with an early DP build.
In the Leics Corner ... ED209 with a Ltd. Ed. DP build.

I've been helping Rob ( GT_Lover ) get hold of a DP as he is a bit smitten with building one, but then he turns round and challenges me to a 'friendly' build off between his resto and my rebuild as we will both have them finished at about the same time ( November ) ... so I had to accept

I'm trying to raise the game with my rebuild as I have hopefully found a better match to the original Ni-Bronze colour, but Rob is keeping tabs on what I'm up to and is obviously no slouch when it comes to a sick build so I've got my work cut out.

We'll have a vote off at the end if I can set it up and some kind of prize to be sent to the winner from the looooooser. Stakes is High

Rob's project started from this :

Ed's project stated from this :

I know of a place that will do the original Nickel bronze coat and tweak the colour to what ever shade you like!
