lookin' good so far , very stealth

They should have a warning on spray cans"not to be used after 10 beers"

Why? Did you confuse the Paint can for a stubby? Lols

Im Liking The Black....:)

Does the BBQ give it that baked enamel finish?

Good work Sean!

funny you say that. tonight was the first time I picked the wrong one up. The can was cold. I wont have to put lipstick on for a week, gloss red. lucky I didnt pick up the black.

Completed my North Sydney Bears tribute mower 10mins ago.


I got it for nothing. Spent 50 on stuff for it, plug, filter, paint, disk for little grinder, etc.
It took bark off me about a dozen times(the rear flap just chopped the end of my finger) took I would say about 4 hours give or take.
It starts and runs great, now here comes the inevitable question. What to ask??
Want to sell it for enough to get a compressor so i can get a rattle gun(yes i have been listening to you all). btw I know my rights.

the red handles look cool man.....

Something like that i'd get $120-$130 for(minus the red handle bars).
I believe the market is a lot tighter in NSW so $90-$100 would be reasonable.

The next one will be for Manly. I was going to make it a girly pastel maroon and white on a plastic sanli. With a dirty smoke bellowing backfiring motor that leaks. And some square wheels.
Now that would sell.

Hello Sean!

Yes, the moron maroon jokes continue ...

There is a very talented lawnmower restorer by the name of Mike Dockrell.
He does mower themes:



All very Victa Sports.

Would you have to amalgamate the clubs colors if they got amalgamated.
The mower nsbears/manly.
I have mixed the colors and it looks like Sh!t.
That bloke may have cornered the market. he does nice work.
Next project may be a full crank secret.
Fella gave me a mower today he said didnt work, it had no wheels or starter, he said"i dont know whats wrong with it" his lawn was one foot high???
