This is all looking very nice Roy. Looking forward to seeing the finished job.
Have you worked out what to do about your paintwork yet?
Lobo:
Stunning stuff Roy.... making me jealous. And hear / hear to Peter (Kent 400) who's working his magic on a couple of clocks of mine - inc the Fizzy speedo.
I did my 400F wheels earlier in the year - polished hubs, new bearings, spokes, rims, the works - just wanted to look at 'em all day...
Thanks for the thread,
Lobo.

Thanks Chris. Not had a lot of time recently to find a painter, but as each bit goes on it's getting more urgent. Got an idea I may go with Ashimotos suggestion of a modern metallic with the colour matched. I may be able to find a local car shop that will do that. Have ordered a set of decals and warning stickers etc from the states, a company called AFE Graphics. So am really waiting on these arriving then I can tour round the paintshops. Maybe get lucky who knows, but am going to have to keep the costs down. £550 is just too rich for this project, as I'm trying not to spend in total more than the bike is worth.
UK Pete:
In my experience 550 is about as cheap as a good paint job comes, a quick blow over with minimal prep would be about 250,
