Featured Restoring A 1969 T100r

Sorry but i have no pic's :-( I built a TR6C for myself over the winer and Su's bike got waylaid for to long and then i decided that another project i had for off roading would make a nice road bike so started doing a rough build of that and Su's bike again took a step back until a few weeks ago i got my arse into gear thinking i would have it done for June and its 50th Birthday, so the bike is done all apart from the paintwork on the tank and mudguards and i have been prepping them all day so i can prime them on Friday with a view to painting them next week

 

Managed to prime all the last bits for paint but it looks like i won't be able to use the booth again until the week after next for the colour on the tank and mudguards :-(

 

Bit of a result as i managed to paint all the remaining black bits and get them fitted.

 

Had a great result this week with the exhausts, first i successively got a full refund on the L F Harris downpipes that apart from being the wrong bend that i could live with and secondly the fitting was so out of line that i couldn't even make them work. Next good bit was i found a pair of original NOS down pipes for far less as well

 

Managed to get the silver on today and will be doing the green Thurs/Fri i hope if the booth is spare

 

Funny how i have just fitted the refurbed original seat pan and sponge with a aftermarket cover.

 

Doing the rest of the paint tomorrow Up early as booth is free first thing.

 

Luckily i have a few nice old original sponge/foams left over.

 

Thanks from an early age i realized if you want anything doing right then do it yourself as there are plenty of people out there who just don't give a shit sadly, luckily there some very nice people out there as well

 

Well it was a long day but worth it, all done apart from getting the stripes done
