Nice, I keep coming back to this thread, watching with anticipation. Stuff I'd never dare do.

Thanks for keeping the pics and thread updated!

It keeps me sane & I'm not in front of the TV all night
The way I looked at it with this project was that the sum of the parts far outweighed the price I paid for the bike, so if it didn't work i could still make money on it by selling the bike off in bits.

Engine is coming into work tomorrow & will get a liberal blasting with the steam cleaner to get rid af years of road gunge & corrosion

There were a few layers of paint on the wheel, so I thought I would sand it flat, then paint over the top. It's my own fault, i should've taken it right back

Just been outside steam cleaning it (Don't tell the boss). It hasn't cleaned up as well as I'd imagined, but, it will have to do
