It is black........just black......it's all black, outside and in.
Test drive has been delayed due to leaking rad and brakes that just won't bleed.
I was doing great bleeding them until I ran the reservoir dry......now I'm thinking I have an air pocket in the master cylinder.
I can't get any fluid out of the rear bleed screws and the rear brakes won't work. My rad had some leaking issues where I had welded the brackets to hold the AC condenser. Hope to test drive next week end.

Looks great, Martyn!

Rear brakes are overrated. ;)

My bad :-) Thought I saw a reflection of green in some of the paint shots... :p Looks fantastic!


RE: brakes. If you have some kind of Pressure Differential in the system, still, it may have just slid this to the other side (blocking off the rears). Open up the fronts again and do a few pumps there and then go back to the rears and see if that changes anything.
