    UPDATE 17/06/13

    Now that I'm happy with the bodywork fitting, I can now look at prepping for paint. The first thing is to get rid of that nasty race number, not so easy as it is lacquered in. So it's out with the sander.

    The sander makes short work getting rid of old paint and lacquer.

    [​IMG]

    Back down to plastic without hardly any effort, A quick sanding by hand and it's nearly ready for primer.

    [​IMG]

    That sander really cuts through the old paint.

    [​IMG]

    So I thought bugger it and done the whole lot.

    [​IMG]

    It wasn't without it's problems though, I found a nasty lil crack on the seat unit.

    [​IMG]

    So I'll mix up some Araldite and reinforce the back, it's drying as I'm updating so I will let you know how it went.

    After the final cut, I started to hit it with wet 'n' dry.. Sadly I got peckish and thats as far as I got..

    I still need to face the sides and add holes for LED's and M6 mounting holes.

    Will take a few hours to polish this bad boy to a blinding shine.. Im sure it will be worth it in the long run..​

    Cracking isn't it :D

    Cheers Jing, Phame is doing an awesome job.

    Cheers Coolamasta, I do try :hehe:

    Maybe not Mechh, but the bike is very much gonna be a show piece and will be at LAN events in the UK. I want people to see this build and not lock it away never to be seen again.
