Evening everyone.
It's been a while since i last posted, so thought i would give you an update:-
Well the scooter is still in bits, but i have stripped and repainted the main frame as best i could. (the front forks still remain on) ... and then i got a bit stuck!
So much of the old parts needed cleaning, but nothing seemed to cut it.. so after almost a year of doing nothing, i slurged on an air compressor and picked up a used blast cabinet last weekend and have been having a great time!
I am amazed at just how well these old parts have come up!! I have also been looking out for rustoration parts, so managed to pick up a front mudguard, which should fit the slightly battered panels i already have.
So for now it's about cleaning and storing, even the inner rear wheel arch has come up better than expected.
I'll work out a plan for priming and painting later date....
(my pictures are to big to load up, but i'll work on that too!)
