No I didn't have the cases Hydroblasted just my carbs and swinger. I got my engine cases acid dipped and unfortunately sprayed my engine with PJ1 Satin Black engine paintI know now that this will look absolute pants next to the rest of the bodywork and paint and stuff GRRR.
These were in the days before I discovered the absolute magic and wonderfullness of Hydroblasting.
The swinger and the carbs for that matter are being left as is, as can be seen in the pics.
However my brake calipers, sprocket carrier and a few other little bits and bobs were Hydroblasted prior to being painted. I haven't got these parts back from Alan yet so cannot comment any further but obviously when I get them and continue with the build there will be pics to follow.
Don't you like the pj1 Simon?
It's OK but I just think that it will let the side down compared to the rest of the bling on the bike, it just looks a bit,well, not that tough. It sort of looks as though it could flake off and chip quite easily. We will see.
From what I have seen it likes to be baked
or a few heat cycles though it
For those of you that remember, are interested or just like pics of bikes here's some pics of my project. I'm pretty much at the point where I can't do much more until I get everything back from the painters. Talking of which Mr Gibson decided to take a few days off for some R&R to watch the Moto GP down at PI. I ask you! Tsk,tsk.Rest and relaxation what is the world coming to. That and Alan and Glen working on an awesome Charger project means that I just need to sit and wait for a few more weeks.
very tasty, hope it can keep up tho

Soooo finally got a call from Allan at Black Edge Autobody (some know Allan as ASF member No. 1 Gibbo) telling me that bodywork, wheels,calipers etc were done and ready for collection. So grabbed my brown paper bag full of dollars and tootled off to Bayswater.
Fuck this guy does some pretty cool paintwork. Anyway I shook his hand, told him he was a cunt, short changed him and fucked off back home with my bits.
Started putting it back together and am currently sitting here with a JD and a big shit eating grin on my face.
Once assembled I'm taking the bike down to Claude Lia to get the airbrushing done, order some Venhill brake lines and then get my seat recovered and then it should (hopefully) be good to go.
Got a Killer deal on some Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsas which will be fitted on Monday so it will be rolling soon.
Progress so far
