ended up testing it red, not too sure tho also painted rear pillion red and the back end looks much better, got a few runs on them but nothing abit of wet and dry wont sort out.

tomorrow the wheels are coming off and spending the day sanding them down they stick abit of primer on ready to go BMW dimond white on mondaym belly panel will also be primed abit tomorrow then again BMW dimond white.

sunday red panels are getting flatted ready for a nice new coat of audi laser red and some laquer then monday night i will rebuilt it and post pictures

unk:

The wheels look good as they are mate? or is one grey one white cant really tell on this pc

front wheel is white, but had orange peel marks on so sanded parts down and the rear wheel is white but not properly painted, there coming off tomorrow and all the paint is coming roght back to metal i think then il paint them all in white properly because ive got the idea of what it will look like now

bit of progress today, repaired some of the red panels and put them in the shed ready to me laqured on monday and also gave the engine a clean.

cleaned a few bits, oil tank, seat bucket, clocks ect.

got the wheels off and started flatting the front one tonite its done but need the disk off so i can give that a clean and maybe abit of red paint on there.

plans for tomorrow,

clean front disk
flat paint on the rear wheel
lay some primer on the rims
tidy up my alarm wires and mount it
spray the back of the engine black
and what ever else attracts my attention

few update pics on page 1 aswell

:up:

looks like she's rescued. well done m8

cheers minor

Couldnt get much work done on it today, the weather started fine, dead sunny ect so i buy the white paint and get to work then it pissed out still managed to get the wheels painted white then put them in the green house out of the bad weather

fed all my alarm wires to the correct areas today ready to be wired in when i find the damn manual :rofl:

put my front panels back together, but someone has decided to hide my nice shiny LH switch's so ive had to use a old one with over spray for now.

also got my insurance sorted today £99 so no too bad :cheers: its also my first time ever taking out my own policy so i was rarther sxcited, im normally on a traders policy.

gonna build the rear section up tomorrow ie, fit the rear lights back onto the numberplate panel, sort out the wiring and clean them up, fit my fresh wheels onto the beast. the rear section of panels is staying off for now so i can work around the carb + pipes ect

fucking rain! weather has held me back abit today but managed to do a fre bits,

lights + indercators contected, apart from rear light and indercators as the connections are different,

got the wheels connected but managed to scratch the rear wheel so left the masking on so i can give it a quick coat on the bike,

got my fuel pipes all lined up ( waiting for carb still!)

only things to do now are,
