Hi Howie
Having the right tools. scotchbrite mops, sand blaster and lots of 1200 wet and dry as well as beer, loud music. (80s of course) and a drop of ocd.
Lots of the original plastics will be no more.

Hmmmm, maybe this is where i'm going wrong with polishing?

Beer, loud music (Kinks, Small faces, punk rock) & absolutely no ocd whatsoever Embarassed

Best mainstream(?) band of the 80's...........the Smiths Dance Discuss Very Happy

What do you have in mind for the plastics then Fazey, I'm intrigued

What's the colour you've used on the frame?

I have a frame to paint up for my project and was thinking grey might be the way to go. That looks like just the job.

Keeping the fairing just in case I change my mind and was told exhaust is pretty rare so will keep both. Rest can go. Sorry
