Tomorrow we are gonna remove the black paint from the brake levers, then put em under the polishing wheel, then re-fit the headlight fairing and clocks, then refit the front mudguard. It's tempting to leave it all to the end, but I want to keep the boy interested, by fitting the "new bits" he will see progress for the work he has put in

It's moved forward another step this week, I've had a couple of bits turn up from eBay. Both front indicators work now and the warbling horn is fixed. 2 more panels repaired and painted. Will pull photos over from Facebook later tonight.

There's still two panels to sort out. Jakes pleased with the way the bike is coming on. Fixing up old bikes is very slow work when youre paying attention to detail. My painting is certainly not the best, but ive been pretty anal about the preparation of the panels. Thers been lots of little repairs here and there when it comes to snapped fastening lugs. Its taking shape now and the boy is still interested.
