And of course lots of new little bits and pieces.
I have painted the swing arm, the colour I ended up using was an auto colour called Iceberg Mica. I like how it came up. It was a cold winter by Australian standards so it made painting things difficult but after a few goes and a lot of sanding I am happy with the results. Just need to apply the Uni-track decal.
I also bead blasted and painted the steel swing arm linkage plates as they were a little rusty and need a pretty up. Also to get some more arc welding practice in, I made a little frame to hold the engine once I get the cases together.
I have this week off work so I am hoping to get the frame sand blasted, then I am going to crack test it and repair any rusted areas and cracks. I already cut one piece off the frame as you could see it was all rusted out and I wanted to know what size tube I would need to place it with.
You would be surprised how hard it has been to find replacement steel tube off the shelf in my area so I turned up some.
