Like the white colour scheme.

I was thinking of black but with a very high metallic flake so it really sparkles.

Bu that’s problem 225 and I’ve not solved problem 3 yet.

And here's mine.
All original with patina.

Don't like restored vehicles, after all, they're only original once.

Once an amateur polisher gets at them they're ruined. :D

Lovely.

I was thinking along the same lines last night.

Do I vapour blast all the alloy, or leave as is?

The engine and gearbox need to have all seals renewed as they’ve been standing for years,so it’s all coming apart anyway. It does look a bit shonky.

What do you think?

It's apart so might as well give it a polish. :D
 
No worries about the ebay link,happy to try and help.As for vapour blasting,I reckon yes,go for it.I also like some patina,same as Steppers,but think it would look nicer cleaned up a bit.

Good luck Nin,looking forward to this thread

Imagine polishing these two. Only something unimaginative dullards would think about.. :D

The blue one is my mates 1957 Hydra Glide.
