bought a jap made white t/s f+f from dan-dare a couple of weeks back

on first inspection i was struggling to find the serial number and even the hutch sign on the rear bridge, next i noticed some pretty rough weld on the rear bridge and really hit panic mode

anyway after reasurance from dan himself,(cheers mate) i did what all handy buggers do and reached for the polisher
BEFORE

AFTER

MUCH BETTER me thinks

so now its paint time, off to superbike dan!!
after a couple of pms he assures me that there are at least 2 layers of powder so it will need blasting before paint...

this is how it came back, dans version of candy red, and i must be honest this job is flawless, he even managed to lose a small dent underneath the chainstay


hutch sign is back and so are the serial numbers phew
so until del does my decals i started fiddling and putting a few bits on,

and lastly i wanted to try and give the new school flights a little make over, so with help from del (decals) advise from mark j (bolts) and my trusty flex vari speed polisher( on washers and bearing cups) this is the result

hope you like it and finished results to follow

ps pics seriously do not do justice
