Yep, the dash was actually grey as i suspected so i repainted it and it looks perfect, thanks again peter. Only weird thing is that working clock...after 13 years it's a bit hard to get used to.

I've got two jobs at the moment, one is outside and with the constant rain it's hard to get to. The other is painting Dale's Zed and it's still a bit cold to do that.

It's only just run in and is sounding great, pity i have to strip it down again but the new cylinder head (on the previous page) should Pep it up a fraction.

I've put the new Cylinder Head on today (3 months to get all the bits) and it was very much a straight forward operation. This one is shaved with stainless steel valves, cam towers have been shimmed which set the pad wipe up perfect. Sounds SaaaWeeet but i'll wait for tomorrow for a run... i do remember saying that i was finished under the bonnet, i suppose one day that will be true

Bought it on eBay 2 years ago for $200 + $80 postage from Japan and then polished the hell out of it for 14 hrs.
