Cheers :P Means a lot.

I think the compressor would have really struggled without the expansion tank to be honest! With the tank it should now be over 150L capacity, with 14.4CFM it just about manages.
It is a shame about the inner wings :). There was more left than that, but it looked pretty 'orrible! so I cut it out and decided to stick some brace bars in instead of glassing some new inner wings.

It's now in it's first coat of high build primer - so it's WHITE :dontgetit:. No pictures though till tomorrow.

    Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Oh I see now! The picture confused me, the tank on the compressor is black and the expansion tank is grey?

It looked like it was laid down and the tank was the grey thing. I'm with you now!

I might have overlooked it when I was reading through, what colour are you painting it?

Is it already registered?

Yeah you got it :). It's already registered as a MkII Minus, on a Q plate, so no worries there :). It will be a shade of orange, but what shade I have no idea :). Was a while ago we bought the paint.

You're gonna see it in white before that though :). Need a bit more practice on the gun though before I feel confident enough to be let lose on £150 of top coat :).

HAHA!! Thats probably true!

Does anyone know a good way to get the protective film off perspex windows? Its gone all brittle one side :). The window is fine so I don't really want to buy another one.

Orange is going to suit that beautifully, jelous of min, and more jelous of the compressor .....what I would give for a good wind shifter right now :)

Dunno what to do with the rear in ours :). Too much hassle to fit seats, so I'm thinking carpet it all? No idea to be honest haha.
