Late last year I managed to acquire 2 green Lightweights with one spare chassis and 1 red one. I have restored one green one with another one still to go. The red one will stay as is, I will clean it up. I could not find a paint colour in spray tins that was close to the original green so, I just went with the closest I could find. I will get some paint that is closer made up at some stage in the future. I am also checking out getting some Lightweight stickers made for the front of the cowl.

That deck, in the pics is not the original broken one. I have scored a total of 3 lightweights, another green one which had a perfect deck and the red one which has a perfect deck.

I have since had that broken deck welded up and I will bog it and sand etc.

Hi MVC,

If you're getting some cowl stickers made up would you consider getting some extras done to sell?

I'm after at least 2 and might consider a couple of spares if this helps to spread the cost for you?
