Looking great. Keep up the momentum! Does the wrinkle paint require baking?

no baking, you've got to put each coat of paint on in different directions as in horizontal then vertical then diagonal, only 5-10 mins between coats
let it dry and you get the wrinkle
it's also heat resistant up to about 400c from memory

right had a little time this arvo so started getting the frame ready for the motor to go back in



bubble wrapped to stop scratches

fitted the new steering head races



fitted a new set of spark plugs while the motor is easy to get to

you can see only 2 plugs were replaced at some stage, still not too bad, check out these plugs
from a transalp the 2 plugs that are near impossible to get to have never been changed, they changed the other 2 was still running though

mine not that bad


i also modified my sand blasting cabinet, the standard filter would clog up after about 5mins of use
so i used an old landcruiser air filter, no more problems
