Back at it

Finally got some time on the XS this weekend. Moving into my house and generally living it up has kept me away from the shed - especially as its all located up at my parents place! It was good to be back  8)



So after blasting the engine, I gave it a clean with some Jizer, and then carefully hand washed it with some soap to get any crap off.



Then I left it to dry for a few days and masked it up best I could



Cracked out the BBQ paint and went at it...



I was pleased with how it went on - painted really well! I'll keep popping up this week and putting more coats on / turning the engine round to get into all the fiddly places!

Also my dad has got an paint gun and compressor so had a go with the bodywork...



OOooo!!! That's VW's "Diamond Silver". Cant wait to have it back on the road! but I doubt the painting will be finished any time soon ::)
