PROJECT HONDA CD175A (SLOPER)

Yep it's a lovely colour and luckily the tank was in excellent condition (spotless inside) but as it has large chrome sides on it, the paint underneath was original and immaculate so was very easy for my local paint shop to match up.
Paint is base coat and 2 pak lacquer.

Great work Paul, it really is getting there now. I love the small Honda twin engine, nice and simple to work on. I would like to get my hands on a CB160 to restore as that was my very first bike and you never forget your first bike do you

My Cordylines didn’t survive the winter.

It went down to -8°C in December. It’s been that cold before but never for a whole week.

It would be nice to have a spray booth / paint shop like that.

I've just been given a green house, my wives best mate is dying and it's not wanted by her family so I asked and got. Result. Might grow some tomatoes and peppers. Don't like tomatoes myself but the wife says home grown ones taste superb.

You asked for a dying persons greenhouse?😳😳

[SteveD CB500K0]

If they are brown and drooping they are probably dead.

You need to cut them off where the trunk is firm (not soggy and rotten) and they may grow back. That’s what I’m hoping.

No I asked my missus to ask her son if anyone wanted it, I knew none of them had green fingers so it would have been thrown or sold with the house. The son said he'd asked his brother and sister and neither wanted it so I could have it.

I use the greenhouse as a drying room it was nearly 70 deg in there on Sunday as the sun was fully on it.
Can you all do me a favour and delete any non related bike posts.
Yes Ken you cannot beat home grown toms Sungold my favourite.

Good use of a greenhouse…..drying room. I gave up on Toms and chillies, just didn’t have the green fingers.

Got more parts painted, lacquered and bolted on.
Didn't realise how much painting there is on one of these 
Need to get in touch with Silvers regarding parts they say are superseded but DON'T FIT
