top score there Carl proper made up for you

red looks good blue is different, but if the chrome is good keep as is

if you cant decide once she arrives bbq beer and a vote

Fook me Carl , that's a hefty bill

Looking forward to seeing this Carl

Get some pics up when it lands.

How the hell is this country supposed to do business with fees like that?

It'll be cheaper to get stuff sent to another EU country then sent on.

You must have paid through the nose for that

That was before the customs men came knocking

If the chrome is tidy Carl it's always a shame to powder over it imo . If it's not good i would do it Blue

Fook it, im going with Blue ... voted

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #40 on:** August 31, 2011, 07:06 PM »

I voted for blue too Joff, I just think that seeing a red, white and blue Robbo lined up together @ MK12 will be mega.

Your call though Carlos.!!

I really wanna go blue but $:-\$ Let's see what comes out the box tomorrow .

it's gonna be like Xmas Come early .

If you want a blue one buy another Robbo !!!!! It would be sacrilege to refinish this even if the chrome is not A1 . If you want to win the 70's class next year keep as much as the original parts/finishes as you can . Did you read what the judges are looking for ? Trust me

Redline · « **Reply #43 on:** August 31, 2011, 07:49 PM »

Deffo Chrome buddy.... you know it makes sense

Badbaldie · « **Reply #44 on:** August 31, 2011, 11:34 PM »
