C70 project.

Rammed a steel brush up my fork shrouds today,to clear them out a bit - think i'll have a whizz down to Kings College to I.d. some of the crap that came out .

 

In the post,as of 12:18 this morning......
geyser who came up with the e/b app - don't know whether to take a uzi to him/have his children..,reckon getting parts 'round mid Jan.,have base £ for wheels + all spindles&smaller pieces now,but........ -
big concern at moment is the weather,o.k. for working inside.but not ideal for painting/drying outside,hummm.

 

Scribble,scribble,scribble (writing this down).,
may have some use/also,for all those 'dremel' accessories I never use..

 

Having serious thoughts about the engine.hummm -
personally,don't think there's any possibility,of a motor that's been sitting in some shed?,for 12 years +,is going to operate anywhere near it's full capacity,no matter how well it's serviced......
So just in case,ordered...........

 

Was running,though fluffy when removed(part recycle,then pass on before £age,job).,
Oil down the plug hole,then all openings,etc sealed up & bagged to protect against elements till chassis sorted.
The thought was a base service,then see how it goes...however,came into some info about a c90 specialist in Sth.London and it's kind of got me thinking,considering the relitive cost of a 'renovation',dependant on how rest of bike turns out in the end,may be a good investment in the meantime..

 

Tbh,probaly what i'll end up doing......maybe..

 

& still waiting for my b....y 'dremel' and cleaning kit,grrrrrr.
have delivery slip for an 07:00 pickup still to fill (tommorow).

 

Yaaaay.! -
I am so gonna f..k up,every single attachment in that kit....at the weekend.

 

Works with charger as well,cordless.it lasts about as long as it takes me to go for a p..,
def.not powerful enough,want to say to all those llittle bits....right you b......s,light pressure only,hard pressed to take skin off a rice pudding,works/but laborious.

 

Jeweler's/10,000 rpm,no torque,work for a while,till I get Big Bertha..

 

Update:-
...................'dremels' not for me - feel like i'm smoking a Virginia Slim 'sted of a proper roll-up.!!.,
figured it now,e/b being s.for what i'm REALLY looking for.googled some and going to settle for an aerosol tin of aircraft paint stripper+wire wool...then i'm getting a tin of Hammerite kRust? + some fine to medium artwork/painting brushes and detail spots (just waiting for info on priming over),then it'll be paint/laquer/sand/polishing compound,buff.mk.

 

.....that's if I had one,nope - s...e copy me.,
got lucky.? ,frankly with this one,pretty sparse on the usual Honda Cub front ,general rust as you'd expect,but fairly minimal corrosion considering & frame sanded down with no corrosion,only mild/not ingrained rust + i'm storing all the metal(bare),in a non humid/less corrosion encouraging environnment..
