Hi from NZ everyone, have joined the forum and there are lots of sweet sweet builds... but if it is one thing I know about forums is that there can always be more builds!
So we have a 1989 NC30, tired, and in need of attention... I will let the first image dump bring everyone up to speed, but has been slowly ticking away over the Covid Lock Down.

Delivery - Looking alright... sketchy paint if you look close.


Start of strip.


Might be saveable.


Carbs out.


Engine Out.


Carbs were fine and all... but don't look the part.


Few years of grime.


Ready for blasting.


Much better.


Carbs reassembled.


Exhaust at face value was bad, but hidden under there was some nice stainless.


Exhaust work in progress.


Turned out ok.


Brackets ready for plating.


Time for engine tidy up.


Stripped and etch primed cases. Ready for paint.


Going for something a little different.


Engine mock up with cases... Waiting on titanium bolts.


Frame was in average shape... Time to sand off all the anodise.


Took hours!


Hand brushed with some heavy grit and dulled with green scour pad. Ready for 2K satin clear.


Not the best pic, but really happy with the frame.


Aftermarket radiators were fine so just tidy them up.


Straighten fin by fin.


Working on rebuilding all the Japanese stickers.


So coming along steadily... waiting on delivery of parts just takes a bit of time at the moment.
Will update accordingly :)

Don't what you're doing wrong but none of your pics have appeared. Shame. These rebuilds make interesting viewing so maybe you could give it another go!

Nice to see NC30's in New Zealand being restored. We don't have enough of them left!

Be nice to see pics....we love a full strip and rebuild...but pics do make it!!!..

Sorry everyone I have fixed the original post (new to the posting format but I will get there).
And here is an update... it has been a bit slow moving with global pandemics and all, but it is ticking along. Waiting on bunch of plating at moment so doing what bits and pieces I can tick off along they way.

Carbs all back together.


Restored airbox.


Polish exhaust (I know it won't stay like that but still pretty nice for some old pipes).


Had to crash a 'busa just for the tip


Replacing all bolts and screws with either stainless or titanium.


One wiring gremlin that needs to be rectified (pun intended).


Some nice new Honda bits are always nice.


Restored under tray/cover.


Starter before...


...and after.

Keep them coming please and have a Merry Christmas and happy New Year.
Stay safe.

Excellent build and some cracking pics.

Looks great - carry on!

Very nice indeed, you're doing a hell of a good job.

That is a fab restoration you're doing there! I'm impressed. Now explain in detail please how you tarted up the exhaust. I'd like to know what you did to the under tray to make it look like that. Also, that sheet of warning labels looks pretty good. How have you done it? Are those stickers something you could reproduce and sell to other forum members?

Nice to see the pics!!!.. looking good fella,nice work.just one thing though,your dog bone is on wrong..it's upside down..curves should curve downwards...looks like it was delivered that way!!
