So its almost finished, sadly I ran out of welding wire but there isn't alot left to do really, just finish seam welding the additional bars and a bit more weld around the front seat mount so that can wait till I break something or have some more welding wire.
So as I wont finish the welding any time soon I cracked on with painting it. I decided that after a base of hammerite that it was going blue. It had 2 coats of china blue I had lying around then a top coat of this lovely bluey purple metallic.
Sadly the top coats dried alot faster than the base and I have f*cked the paint in places when i went to start building it as she felt dry.
Anyway the front wheel and headset have been rebuilt with some lovely fresh grease, the seat was given a hefty coating of satin black and the speedo and front brake cable were fitted. Need to pop out and get a new battery for the speedo then set that up.
Still waiting on sliders and finding the other handlebar grip I had here and it'll be sorted.
I'll get some hill videos saturday afternoon or sunday when the paint if dry.
