Well being a Yorkshire man I decided it might be good to save £35 for taking the forks off my bike so I ratchet strapped it to the roof and dropped the wheel and forks off.

Finally got the forks back and built up the bike ready for the road, it only needs taxing now.

So many projects Barry! Always a nice feeling saving a bit of money too. As you know, I'm going in the other direction! :lol:

Hi Ben
I can't imagine how sick you're feeling at the moment about your car, I just hope you manage to diagnose what caused all that damage in your engine.
TBH I have too many projects but if a cheap Heinkel/Trojan came up I'd jump on it

Hi Tom
I restored it in 2010 but I'm going to hang on to it for a little longer as two stroke prices are on the way up and it is 41 years old now.

Well I actually got around to doing some cosmetics that had been bugging me on the Puma for ages.

So it was off with the passenger side mirror which was more oxidised than the drivers side

Might just be able to see the pinkness of it on this photo.

Just checking on my 3 year old waxoil in the door, no way is that going to rust.

Mirror flatted and ready for paint on my DIY rig (a block of wood on an oil filled radiator) It has been cold up here this week.

Back on the car and ready for the Tatton Park classic car show tomorrow

Nice one, Barry!

What do you mean by cold?

 

[tuonokid]

Hi Sinisa
From memory up until today I think it's been around 12 - 14C but with a cold wind so I think without the heat it would have bloomed the paint.

[moondustka]

Your red is very nice and vivid! Good job, temps back up to 23 tomorrow and 25 Sunday :grin:

You sprayed out of a gun, right Barry?

 

[tuonokid]

Hi Ben
No rattle cans but pretty sure it was isocyanite paint so there was a lot of deep breaths and running in and out of the garage. Best paint going but very toxic. Looking forward to a nice sunny show tomorrow for a change

[Robyorks]

Should have brought it to me Barry, have the coded paint and the booth to shoot it in

Rob.

 

[tuonokid]

Hi Rob
Never thought of that but thanks for the offer . I'm free next week if you want some more help, just had Andrew over this week so couldn't come over to yours.
Barry

 

[Robyorks]

No probs mate. Definitely on for next week, back to normal by then so no distractions :wink:

Ill give you a call early in the week, sort it then.

Rob.

 

[tuonokid]

Ok Rob, no probs

 

[XAF]

You're doing cosmetics Barry :grin: From the man who thinks polish is a sin!!

Seriously, looks good. Sorry I can come today, gutted!

 

[moondustka]

Finish looks spot on! Especially from a rattle can!

 

[tuonokid]

Cheers Guys, you didn't miss a great show today James, a bit gutted really as didn't get to show as it's all pre-booking plus it cost £24 for us both. I think Thoresby and Ripon are both a match and much cheaper.
Barry

 

[Brian']

Awesome finish from a can! Nice work Barry

 

[tuonokid]

Cheers Brian, can't wait to see yours painted and finished.
Barry
