That bike looked stunning! Let me get this right, there's nothing mechanically wrong with it, you just got bored and decided to strip everything off it, including the engine? Laughing

Good luck with the rebuild, stripping it completely down like me? Wink

Shame about them wheels, i love them Razz

To whoever mentioned front looking chunky, its a 16" Front tyre, meaning its either a 98 or 99 Hornet Razz Most fronts are 17"

yeah the engine took me a day, i used heat resistant satin black to prime it (could also use heat resistant matte) did 3 thin coats of this

satin takes 15mins to dry fully so that didnt take long.

then i painted it with hammerite smooth black (its heat resistant and i used it for casing covers in lastbuild and it didnt mark one little bit) i used a full can of this in thin coats to make sure it was a good job. leaving it to go very sticky before adding a second coat.

worse thing you can do with hammerite is wait for it to dry before doing another coat it just fooks up. wait for it to go tacky and then apply another coat and you will get perfect job Wink




hahaha i wish i had 4k to spend on mine very skint atm Sad need a new car!
