Took a quick snap on my lunch break. What a difference 4months&£1200 makes!

Before

After

It took you 4 months and £1200 to repaint some wheels and take about 15 stickers off?

Was my first thought. Oh and some vaseline for the pictures.

cheeky gits! those wheels are a good £400 of a refurb! means its more than £1200 though.

The top one is nothing of my doing.. Undone all the "added dazza w**k"

 

[Coops Mk1]

£100 a wheel?!!!! jesus, did they paint them with gold enfused paint or in real platinum or something!

looks much better de stickered but I actually preferred it on the white wheels, but I kinda have a soft spot for white rims....ahem!

The needed some work doing on them too. Not just a simple straight forward refurb.

Skipton. I bought it from the young lad in X-Hills after it had been laid up a while. You may see it about now as I work in Steeton.

If you de-stickered It and paid £400 for a wheel refurb... Where did the other £800 go? :O (as a genuine question as I can't see anything else done...)

New rear lights,exhaust,cambelt,water pump,service, etc etc!

I have a feeling it's a bit more than 1200.

PMSL at the before pic.

The second pic is possibly the worst photo I've seen. Ever.

Good improvement though. I'm sure it looks good IRL.

 

[Goodj]

Should have kept the livery.

Maybe added some 2-tone viper stripes

Ahh I thought I recognised this used to be a lad called Jordan's on station road didn't it! I live just up the road from him in cross hills!! It had been off the road for quite a while.

Where abouts in skipton are you?

Correct! My stepdad is mates with his dad, that's how I found it. A good 18months I believe, Bit more work than I envisaged to sort it though.

 

[Coops Mk1]

glad you saved it though, shame to see them sitting rotting

 

[richd]

i think you done a good job mate

 

[blburied]

Cheers for the good comments

 

[jenic]

This from somewhere near cross hills? Near Skipton.

Seem to remember it being parked up there a long time.

Good work though

 

[BenJeffrey]

I've seen this around as well, as I live in Skipton.
