Stormin 4,458 #105 Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks for the favourable comments, lads. i realy like that norm is the body going black ( please ) It's beginning to look that way, Nigel. Don't know about the engine. That's last on the list. 1 nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 2,417 #106 Posted February 20, 2015 What colour are the wheels going Norm? I'm not sure off white would look right.. Maybe red or silver? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #107 Posted February 20, 2015 Funny you should ask, Ian. I was thinking about silver today. I've got the paint. 2 Ian and nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 4,458 #112 Posted February 26, 2015 Looking great Norm! are you going to add any red to the horse? The general consensus seems to be an all black vote. Wheel colour not finalised though. Got silver. Got red. MF & IH. Got white. Got JD green. Got Fordson blue. Oh! Also engine colour to decide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 4,458 #116 Posted February 26, 2015 Beat me to it Nigel. I always fancied a JP Moto Guzzi Le Mans. I'd have to buy gold paint though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #117 Posted February 27, 2015 Spent the afternoon in the workshop today. Clutch mechanism all fitted and connected from pedal to pulley. Also brake mechanism except for the rod to the band. That's in the painting process. Missed it when painting the other bits. Took a bit of finding, as did the clutch return spring. Started cleaning up the instrument panel. 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #118 Posted February 28, 2015 Been a good day. Brake system all connected today. Instrument panel made a bit more respectable. Ammeter panel cleaned and primed also gear lever gate cover. Seat support also cleaned up and ready for priming. One foot plate put in e-tank. Photo's tomorrow for those that like 'em, all being well. 2 the showman and nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 4,458 #121 Posted March 1, 2015 Sorry lads. No photos'. Things didn't go as planned. I wasn't happy with the panels. The black paint showed up to many imperfections in the metal. So no choice but to strip them and give them a skim of filler. Now sanded down but I've run out of spray primer. I did get the seat support primed. Brush painted with red oxide. Also I discovered I'd fitted the hand brake to high. Well there is two holes. One above t'other. Corrected now and working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #122 Posted March 4, 2015 A little more progress today. Seat/fender support painted yesterday and now fitted along with fuel tank. The afore mentioned panels are also finished after stripping, skim filling and repainting. Started cleaning up some other bits ready for painting. One foot plate out of e-tank and the other in. I did have a mishap with the ammeter, but I think I can repair it. 1 the showman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 4,458 #124 Posted March 4, 2015 I'd take photo's, Chris. Honest! But things are a bit cramped and I can only get to one side of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #125 Posted March 8, 2015 A few more bits painted or in the process of, today. Some photo's for The Showman's delectation. Dash and ammeter panel fitted. Finger marks will be removed. Fender cleaned up. Underneath of fender with two coats of red oxide and drying in the sun. 5 Ian, slf-uk, Triumph66 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
