Coming together very nicely.
Engine has cleaned up very well. What paint did you use for it?
I’m looking for a NC30 tank too. Quite challenging, as you say they all seem to be rusty and/or dented. Annoyingly some good ones come up occasionally on the Japanese auction sites. Good to know about the internal tank plating.

That's the original paint on the engine Alan and is just the result of a lot of elbow grease to remove tears of grime. I did wax it following the clean. TBH the clutch side case could do with a repaint but it will look worse trying to get a match.
The hoses are the matt finished Sanco race hoses that Rick stocks.
