Project MT500 enduro/motorcrosser

[Minter]

Hi all, today I have managed to clean up most of the reusable parts and start a pile of bits which is good to go back on the bike when i get frame etc back. Did a bit more bolt polishing and stripped down the cylinder head, i'm going to get that vapour blasted and leave unpainted.....



Thats all for now folks..........

Wuhay! I got my frame back from the sand blasters today! First thing tomorrow she'll be at the painters.

I had a real bargain £50 for every hing but the swinging arm!

The guy is called Lewis nice chap, Has a unit in Witney Oxfordshire, does welding and fabrication, blasting and polishing. I'll certainly be using him again.

Told him i'd be passing his name on which he had no problem with..
Call him on 07796 086423 or email Lewis@witneymetalworkservices.co.uk

Thats all for now..
