What sort of money to get a skid unit blasted and re-powder coated Ashley? Looks mega!

Glad you colour matched the comp motor, Bowler?

Not had the bill yet from GreenMech yet... 
 

Probably in for £1500-£2,000 or so for all the panel work, chassis, infeed hopper etc. Having the wheels redone silver also. 
 

It’s the labour involved that’s the big part. You’re looking 40 or so man hours to strip and re assemble. 
 

This machine has now sold! It’s being delivered to its new home next week.

You may have those tyres on the rims backwards (it’s hard to tell from the pics) - they have a thick sidewall protector on one side to ‘tolerate’ curbs etc.
