my rebuilt sr5.4
hi ive just finished (about time) my sr 5.4, thanks to alot of you guys for helping me find all the bits she is now ready for the summer, i built the console myself and built in a 60 litre tank under her i cut out the old deck which was rotten and glassed a new one in, but the tubes where in a real mess with defence police wrote down the side so i sanded them back and painted them with flexy paint for the rib shop and what stuff that is i was well impressed with the finish, i will get some more pics soon for you all,

I've got a sea-rider with proper bad tubs, you recommend that flexy paint then?
I need to do the entire lot as large areas have been patched and repatched stripping off the hypilon.
