I’m sending off a batch of internal parts to the electro players to have them zinc coated, should make them look nice & new.

This batch is for the internals of the headset.

I decided to go through the time consuming process of polishing all the aluminum parts myself, took a long time to do but the end result was very satisfying.

Photos do the time I put in no justice!

Had a few hours in the shed yesterday & managed to get a few little jobs done.

I wrestled the petrol tank into place with the brand new stainless steel tank straps, what an effort that was!

Plus I installed a new lock into the Tool Box door & then installed that into the body.

Installed the Airbox & Air Scoop this arvo, nice easy job.

I got a few more parts back from the painter this morning.

Front & rear hubs + glove box door.

Also, the guy I originally bought the project from had the front & rear spare wheel carriers, so I had both painted, just in case.

I’ll have a few more part to collect in 10 days time, that lot will include the brake light housing, air scoop, rear running boards, front mud guard & the horncast.

Then a few weekday free that I’ll get the side panels & the front panel.

Im using the Byron Bay Blues Festival as an incentive to have it up & running as I want to take this up to Byron as my secondary transportation.

The new Tyres arrived yesterday courtesy of an unexpected home delivery by Steve from Lambretta Obsession.

Three Savu MC18′s which he highly recommended.

Apart from a few little odds & ends the engine for the Li150, now a 175 is now finished.

Rear hub still need to be fitted but that is still stranded at the painters & should be ready a week after Xmas, fingers crossed.

Might need to tidy the man shed up a little over the break.
