    Very late update

    Hi all, sorry for the long delay in a update, kids seem to takeover sooner than you think!!

    Any how's the garage is getting towards being finished now, the roofs on and all electrics are done, just need to do the plumbing now.

    Here's some progress pics

    Felt on and tiles being fitted, on the 400 and something my arms started to get a little tired


    And roof done



    He's a front view but missing the ridge tiles and ridge dry verge



    I managed to get some epoxy floor paint at a bargain price I.e free only down fall it's beige but doesn't look to bad



    And then a party shot and as it still sits until I can get the plumbing tools in.



    Finally be able to get on with some car related work now indoors

    Cheers

        Yeah 1 or 2 spooks the epoxy goes down quite easy really you just pour it on and smooth out leave for 3 - 5 days the you can drive on it without the tyres pulling the paint off.

        Heres a pic against the E90 shows off how small the Z actually is,



        Cheers

          What's the benefit of epoxy over normal floor paint?

          It does look tiny, but then so would the E90 in the rear view mirror of the MC

            It's resistant to pretty much all chemicals once cured, also cures as a sheet so very strong against impact. With normal paint when your car tyres are warm and you park on it the tires will lift the paint straight off when you move the car again, something about tyres bonding to the paint stronger than it does to the concrete.

              Good point about the rear view mirror, took the Z for a very rare drive out and my god i had forgotten just how good they are!

                i knew would buy that bike after riding it ! Have you stopped looking down at the front fork to see if its bending yet , the hub is a piece of engineering .

                  Looks great. Now you can leave the E90 outside and give another Coupe a good home.

                    Ha Ha, i didn’t do a test ride as couldn’t find one near to me so just took the plunge !! which i am glad about, it was weird at first especially when i ended up doing some downhill style stuff across the peak district i had constant visions of the wheel coming off. The bike itself is excellent and the lightest i have ever felt ride well and appears to be holding up and far exceeding my capabilities..

                      Clever stuff. What sort of price is it?

                          I used this stuff for a garage floor recently - I used a 4ltr tin for a single garage and cost me £60 from a Johnstons trade shop. cheap but looked good but very strong fumes
