Oh no not another HARO - My first build finally done.
« on: April 27, 2007, 09:46 PM »
Sorry to those who have had enough of HAROs but ..................
 
Just finished my first build. Its my old gen1, this is how I wanted it BITD but I never had the cash to spend on it. It very nearly didn't get done because I gave it away  :crazy2: to someone a few years back and when I found this site and saw everybody elses HARO builds (RomBloke/Jay  :daumenhoch:)  I went and got it back.

Thanks to those members who have helped me out with advice and parts (Mark J, Scary_leary,mightynimrod,dordymush)  :daumenhoch:

I just can't help looking at it, I think it is beautiful I hope you like it to.  Sorry for the amount of photos but I just couldn't stop clicking  :D

As it was 84- 85ish :-

I love cherrypicker  :D



Big air   :D
 


This is how it eventually ended up :-





As it is now :-  :smitten:







Yes it was me that spent fortunes on the Blue Tech 3's    :shocked:     It was the last thing I needed  :'(













I hope you like it. I do  :)

Cheers
Andy.

Very nice  :daumenhoch:
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

Cheers chaps for the comments  :daumenhoch:

The chroming was done by Leigh Metal Polishing Services Ltd
Unit 6a, Harcourt Industrial Estate, Harcourt St, Worsley, Manchester, M28 3GN - 01204 861022

Scary Leary pointed me in their direction. They took a long time to do it as they were busy (about 10 weeks) and it wasn't cheap  but considering the amount of pitting on the frame they did a great job with the prep work.

And another one...
No offense to the other ones, this is a very lovely build  :smitten:.

This one is sooo special with the story behind it.

You have what money can't buy (not speaking about the tech 3, lol)
I love it, I guess not as much as you do.

Specially digging the before/during/after pics.

And what a job they did on chroming ! :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

Thanks again for all the comments   :daumenhoch:. It does make it all worthwhile that other 'like minded' people appreciate it. I showed it a few lads at work who know nowt and you can imagine what they said. :idiot2:

I know what you mean. I've just finished my Gen 1 build too. I came downstairs the other night to see that loads of the girls visiting my other half had put their coats on it. Not impressed!  :2funny:
