Default Custard. The Rebirth

Well, for the last 5 or 6 weeks I've been beavering away with my SV & now it's finally in 1 piece I thought I would let people see what I've been up to & get some feedback. So here you are, here is Custard in all her glory.













Ive still got a few little things to sort out, but, on the whole it's done & I'm well pleased with the results.

Nice bum warmer you got there Col!

Think the red bit might need to be colour co-ordinated with the rest, but she looks rather tasty

I dont know why, but the red subframe was one of the hardest decisions. Black, silver, blue, red. Ended up red to accentuate it
Worked out that I could have bought another SV for what I've spent, but I'm pleased with the result.

It isn't Dizzy, no. She has served me so well over the past 3 years so was worth spending the time & money on her.
