I imported the frame from Oz already painted.

It's certainly been done to a very high standard and has also been lacquered.

Costs a bloody fortune, I also got stung for the 1st time by customs as the seller disnt mark the package under $100 as requested, still I'm over that now after seeing the results.

Lovely that mate....quality build.

You need one of these to help you tell the time in ET land....

Yes I need one of them Bad boys.

How much.

I've ready spent near on 2K on this build and ironically the item I'm most pleased with and makes the build look OG is the £2.50 fork decal.
