Well, after I posted in here that I'd acquired a bargain GL75 with the intention of "Pimping" it over the winter, so in an attempt to speed me along - I thought If I posted a few pic's of the start, It would give me impetus to carry on!! :)
Being lazy, here is the base plate back from being bead blasted :eek:

And all redundant holes blanked off :)

Base plate has also been drilled to fit my johnnie7 tweaked Alphason tone arm....
The next step is base plate off to the "body shop" for re-spray.....all I know at the moment is that it's going to be really glossy Candy Apple Red, but may have gold or silver flecks and lots of clear coats :eek: :eek:
Next is the motor service and the platter may go to my mates for some machine polishing :) :) I will keep you posted now that I've got some forward momentum :cool: :cool:
