Here we go again

Another one I got from the bike rescue compound that is Ebay. The engine is on the bench being scrubbed up ready for painting, and a few snapped off bolts to sort out. Just got the main bits back from the powder coaters, so the restoration is now in gear and rolling.

Some of the seat units they sell in Italy are a nice alternative

Got the broken bolts sorted now and the engine scrubbed up ready for the high temp. paint. A bit more masking to do , but I keep that to a minimum by just painting over the lot then removing the covers afterwards, being as they will need all the paint stripping off them anyway. Except for the belt covers which dont have any paint on them , so I will need to mask those. I,m in no hurry for the paint right now being as the temperature in my garage has now dipped below zero, I,m thinking of rigging up some kind of Heath robinson hot box to paint the engine in, like maybe a big cardboard box that covers the engine and big enough to slip a fan heater inside. Just got to fiddle about switching the heater off while the paint is applied , then get the fan heater back on quickly afterwards.[IMG][IMG][URL=http://s417.photobucket.com/user/dookbob/media/imagejpg1-5.jpg.html][IMG][IMG][/IMG]

Its just reminded me its exactly 7 years to the weekend that I started my single sider project and the red frame. Regarding the engine painting I did the same using a largish cardboard box to spray in with a radiator heater close at hand. Worked ok tbh. Mine was done hammerite smooth black.

Thanks for the coating info - pity they are the other side of you to me though!
