I'm hoping the dark colours mean you won't see the oil Dave :Dance:

I'm not sure to be honest Leif - it does seem to have a very shiny finish, and the fabric control surfaces are as shiny too. At least for now anyway - I'm not sure it will stay looking like that :wasntme:

Cheers

That looks simply stunning Rich.

So pristine you could eat your caviar off it.

I will have a shot of vodka over the weekend as a tribute. :lol:

Seriously, she looks beautiful sir.

Thanks all - the difference between having this done in Lithuania versus the UK is that its more like a refurbishment than a repaint. As well as the paint, under the hood all the oil and fuel system has been repainted, with new seals, bushes and wiring etc. The top down pic of the engine is the first time I've seen how thats looking too. Of course it helps to know how it looked before :)

........And the back seat is always up for grabs :thumbsup:

Cheers

Looks like she has just come off the production Rich, guess you must be almost willing the days away to be flying her again.

The photograph of the engine is just as though it is brand spanking new, hope you have stored plenty of gunk and if you don't want to get yourself mucky using it just ask your backseater!!!! :lol: :lol:
