Hi All
Get all the rubbish out of the sump before you go any further with painting. You dont want any bits in the oil. Thats what i would do i like playing safe with old engines.
But other wise you are doing a Bloody good with her.

exactly where i thought Rob .

Aaaannnnddddd.... Your throttle spring bolt is 90degrees out so you will faff the paint when you turn that to the right place.

I feel a bit mean picking faults but I have, sorry. Feel free to look at my threads and find fault with those.

We will be putting on a second coat of paint and waiting for the fuel tank to come so will need the paint out again.
