Posted June 9, 201113 yr Well the body work is coming along on the Turbo, All but the belly pan has has decals removed, primed and top coated in silver alloy, which isn't too bad a match Body work back on to line up the new decals before lacquer And my pair together just because, lol This is waiting to go on Decals should go on tommorow, then lacquer, as many coats as possible Belly pan not done as needs fibreglassing around the casing holes
June 9, 201113 yr Moderator looking good so far mate, nice shiney hub have you waxed it to preserve the shine?
June 9, 201113 yr Author Yup Meguairs Metal polish, works pretty good on the alloy, use it after the autosol and ya get a pretty decent shine
June 10, 201113 yr Cor, that silver one looks so 1980s futuristic tech.... I want one!!! Are you going to get some lovely big boxy panniers too?
June 10, 201113 yr Author Aye the silver ones 1982, they look half the size without all the plastic,lol, You can have that one when she's finished Not a chance, lol, i hate panniers on a bike thats not built with them,
June 10, 201113 yr You can have that one when she's finished HAVE???!!! Or purchase? Coz I *will*, ya know... I'm a pedantic bastard like that!
June 10, 201113 yr Author Lol, you can have it, as long as you don't mind parting with the paper stuff
June 13, 201113 yr Cor'Blimey, that really making me want to get home and start working on mine... where did you get the decals done and is there any way you can get the original paint codes? also, is that right-hand silencer the original? or "repaired", thinking about welding mine back up with a bit of fabrication
June 13, 201113 yr Author The right silencer is original tho been repainted in pj1, i have another thats been welded previously, no good to me but certainly do in an emergency Paint codes are near impossible to find, Automart do a silver alloy that seems to be a good match, won't know til its clearcoated Decals bought on ebay from an american company, good color match but now as i've applied them i've found the ones for the nose are too short And the rear is too dark Not sure whether to keep them or try again Clear coating starts today
June 14, 201113 yr cheers for the info Knight, im still itching to get back and start taking mine apart, got it all planned out on a spreadsheet down to the stainless steel fasteners
