Been in the shed all day with some Gunk, Citil Bang and a load of toothbrushes..

I dont think it turned out to bad..

Image

Image

Image

How many bikes come out of the factory nowadays with this stamped into the crankcase!!

Image

My Radiator soaking in a big bowl of soapy water

Image

and if I pile it all up the I am not so scared of it....

Image

Powdercoat and paint...

Image

I gave the frame a going over but ran out of degreaser, broke the calipers down as well and puzzled over removing the wheel bearings.

next up is to finish degreasing the frame, start polishing out the scratches in the swingarm and start to clean up the stuff in the scarey pile!!
