It's not a restoration project but some things just need to be done.
Gave it a few layers undersealing with a brush and also a stonechip layer.
And putting it all back together...

Sapphycos

Repainted the fuel tank. Again, good enough and better than before..

Now it's time to enjoy

Sapphycos

The enjoying part didn't take long...

Sputtering on acceleration and tought I find the problem





All cleaned up but no difference or maybe a little

Good work. Bet you can't wait to drive it again after 5 years

Sapphycos

Thanks!

Yes, I was really looking forward to it!

But with the stuttering issues it had to go back in the garage

Sapphycos

Thanks! It was needed.

After some searching, found this...

Cam cover looks awesome mate, what did u use to do that?

Sapphycos

Hi, thanks!

First used paint remover, had to do it 4 or 5 times before al the paint was gone ( maybe my product wasn't strong enough)
Then used a soft steel brush to remove te last bits of paint and it also made the aluminium shine some more.
Used metal degreaser before painting. And painted the letters with metal paint.
Then used a sanding block and wet sandpaper grit 1000 to gave the top a brushed aluminium look. You could polisch it to...
