 :daumenhoch: Cheers guys!

Plating for the frame and forks was only $300 (AUS), including stripping the show chrome that was already on it and a buffed wax coating to prevent oxidisation.

It did cost more than that to get it there and back safely and quickly though.


Here's a reminder of how I originally got the frame and forks, two years ago....



Money well spent in my book.  :daumenhoch:

Cheers

Jeepers that thing is absolutely outstanding.
What a cracking build, well worth what you have gone through.
This is the original finish on my raleigh cruiser too, that could well be due a holiday to oz in the future.
