    Hmmm the performance book above the standard Haynes says other wise. I'm a single 20 year old driving a ford escort estate.... but it's good for filling with junk. :D

    Lovely lamp, can't wait to see the finished piece. Have to ask though, do you do the spaying in the house as well? :-s

    Um, I had thoughts along similar lines and the conclusion I reached is that Paul is getting married next year and he's doing up the house beforehand. His missus-to-be doesn't go there too much at the moment because they're not at the soft furnishings stage yet.

    That's wot I finks, anyway... :p

    Small point - that 'green' band looks very turquoise from here... :shock:

    I'm loving the banter the thread has kicked off lol!

    I actually house-share with a mate, the haynes manual and 'japanese performance' are related to his taste in motors. I drive a Golf mk4 myself. We basically abuse the kitchen for motor/ lamp work.

    The lamp was sprayed in the garage then put in the spare room to dry. It would be way too messy to try and spray in the house!

    As for the turquoise i'm claiming artistic license!! I think it will go well with the gold i want to do the rest of the tank with.

    More pictures will follow once i get chance to do some more on it, got to get back to my real job of being a chef for a bit unfortunately.......
