Had a phone call to say that the parts that are being de-chromed will be ready for collection on Monday 6th Aug. This is an important milestone as the frame is one of the parts and means I can move ahead with the Powder Coating next week.
I have joined the Z1 Owners Club GB so that I can get access to some hard to find parts as well as talk with some guys that have been through renovations before. Must say that I have been happily surprised by how helpful and encouraging some of these guys have been!
Pete at Anarchy Motorcycles has started the engine rebuild! He is kindly posting some photo's to his Facebook so I can watch and record progress.
Today I continued stripping down various bits that have parts in need of powder coating. As I am breaking them down I am bagging the components so that I don't end up with one big box of bits. I am also taking photo's like one above so that when it come to putting it back together (which seems a long way off !) I'll have a reference photo. I also had a play with a bench polisher my dad gave me. As my intention is to restore as many of the original parts rather than replace I thought I would try and polish up as much as I could. I have posted some before and after photo's on the main page. |
