Grinding,cleaning and more grinding!!!

Ok, I have been busy removing paint, grease and 30 years worth of grime from the frame and swingarm.
I used a grinder with a wire wheel attachment which was very successful after removing all the grease first.
It is in surprisingly good condition for it's age with very little corrosion.

Not very interesting but necessary before sending off for painting.Going for satin black on the frame and gunmetal silver on the swingarm.

Feel like I am starting to get somewhere now these bits are ready for paint as I can start reassembly shortly.
You can see from the above picture I have welded on a new brake stay and the mounting bracket for the mudguard.
The next picture shows a mock up of he rear end apart from the brake stay which I forgot to take a picture of!

So in the next update we should have some shiny bits to look at.Fingers crossed.!
