BLOOP is looking goodo, how do these experts put it? "Great patina".
I bought an X5 brand new back in 1979, so have wanted one for quite a while. This came up (in boxes) for £350, so had to buy it & restore it back to a good condition while honing my skills learning how to sort things, especially spare parts that are as rare as rocking horse droppings. This one is a keeper & will hardly get ridden at all.
Well, I was awake early again this morning (3:45am) so took the dog for a walk, made a brew & headed off to the shed. The plastic wouldn't shine up as well as the tank so I resorted to fixing the decals, then applying lacquer over the paint to make it shine. The overall effect is really nice, I'm so pleased with it. I now have a long road ahead cleaning her up as she's been in the leaky shed for nearly a year & a half. It will then be a case of number plate, MOT then take her for a little test run
