The strip-down continues

Steve called over to my place as planned. He took a good look over the scooter and agreed, or more like confirmed that it needed a lot of work and offered to help me. This was great because I have to be honest that at this stage I could see that a lot of parts were fit for the bin. The shocks as already mentioned, all the cables, fuel lines. Steve was pretty sure that the deeper we went into this job the more parts were going to need replacing. I thought about the cost, the cost of parts, the cost of time. But Steve was re-assusirng that it was possible. Paddy had a good look at the frame and panels and also agreed that the job was do-able.

It was time to get the hands dirty again and Steve was a great help. I was in new territory regarding two wheels. My previous experience was many years on regular motorcycles.

The strip down continued..

With the scooter now stripped to the frame and panels I could go and organise these parts to be sand blasted down to the bare metal then primed ready for painting.
