Well when you finish it'll be a great looking example.

As for the anodizing no metal finisher will guarantee a colour match, the final colour depends on the darkness of the oxide layer beneath. In general I'd say most examples of refinishing i've seen in the UK give a darker , more intense colour than the original Japanese finishes (Naushad's gold Optima chassis being a recent example).

I've had pairs of alloy hubs arrive from the same supplier in different colour blues before now - annoying when they can clearly see themselves that they don't match when they parcel them up to send out.

Anyway - head down, tools to hand - we're waiting for the next build images
