Tub off and Paint on.

Fromt this angle its good.

Not so from this angle, too plain.

Needs that front end from the dr750, or the rear shortened.

Tub off!

Must get all the wood out and plan ahead for the new floor.

50mm rear leafs and a big bar that pulls both drum for the hand brake points to a mk1 rear end? i could be quite wrong tho.

What gearbox do we have? 4 speed anyway.

OL25A2?

I think that was meant to be a freeze plug..

Whole thing is quite solid, but then again it would take a lot of punishment to actually rust steel this thick.

Hope the starter motor is okay on that side, crossflow is a bit different then the pinto.
CBR600 magnolia
Decided that there was too much blank magnolia on the tank, so in that accidental red/black/magnolia scheme that occured on the back of the bike, I did this to it.

Masking and first coat

Near the end there, bit more petrol resistant lacquer needed.

Threw this back together,while waiting for paint to dry, just to wheel it down the back while I find parts

Bolted back together, left it in a warm place overnight, paint should be hard enough tomorrow. Masking tape bleed a bit but I’m happy, this bike will never look good up close.
Jago jeep/geep/sandero (think I’ll come up with my own name for it) needs the roll bar chopped off, which means a complete blank start for the new cage/chassis.
