I slapped some more paint on the old FJ motor today then left it to cure —
while I tackled the frame —
The purists may shudder but with costs in mind this was never planned as a nut and bolt restoration – just a good clean then deal with the rusty bits before freshening the paintwork. I have never used Hammerite before and I hope I don’t live to regret my decision to use it on the frame —
Time to take a break from painting —
and with an MoT due on the Tenere it wasn’t too difficult to move her front and centre where she will get the once-over ready for a dry day for the trip to the Testing Station —
I will be surprised if I find anything wrong with her as I’ve overhauled the rear shock linkage bushes since the last MoT —
When I see her up there looking so good it’s all I can do to wait for spring before getting the maps out and heading off some where.
Come to think of it – I never did get to Corsica —
But there’s time yet 🙂
