I'd been putting it off but had to strip the engine down if I was to repaint it. I initially stripped the top end only on the proviso that I'd strip bottom end only if necessary.

There was a sign that it had been run with a loose cam chain during it's life but otherwise all signs were good that the claimed mileage was genuine with very little wear and no nasties in the sump or oil. Result, so I set about cleaning the parts and repainting as polishing was out of the question.

Quite laborious but ultimately satisfying to get finished and slide it back in the hole.

So that's it, up to date. I now await cables and the tank to finally cure and am hoping to start and run very soon. Then I'll book an MOT and start the registration process. Looking forward to taking it for a cruise before Autumn. Wish me luck!!
Thanks for the help I've received with the few questions I've asked and had replies.

Well done Peter, its looking really great. I hope you get it on the road soon. I must say you have a very tidy workshop and I bet you wish you had completed all that work in the same short time it took you to post that lot on the forum tonight ;D ;D ;D ;D
