Looks like you're doing a great job. The early xx9s deserve to have that kind of attention paid to them. Thanks for sharing.

I have been at it since about mid October, I just keep nipping into the garage and having an hour here and there. I have the frame back from the powder coaters but that turned out to be a huge disaster of which I'll tell the story in the blog once I've been through the pictures

Looks good. I appreciate the effort to post all those pics, since there's never too many of them. The more the better, so keep 'em coming
