Wow, this thread is more impressive than I remembered. =D>

I thought you may have lost focus after that awesome 850 showed up, but now seeing the 086 Black paintwork along with all that brand new chrome, the engine bay & bodywork, those wheels... this thing's gonna look fantastic! Image

Thanks a lot!
Things move slower than expected. The engine eil was leaking almost everywhere. So all the engine was reasembled, clean, piston rings replaced, so did the gaskets and all seals. And finally painted:
