Engine and KAS Racepaint (Batch Two)

Gary kindly collected my batch of paintwork on Monday. This had been completed at KAS Racepaint over the weekend. I was certainly looking forward to recieving the professionally painted batch of Lambretta parts. However, it appears that my week was in for even more of a treat. I received a call from Chalkie of Replay Scooters on the Wednesday to say my engine had been built and was ready for collection. The grin I had just acquired went form ear to ear! The only negative to all of this good news was I would have to wait until the weekend to see it all.

Saturday morning was cold but despite the weather, we ventured out to collect the bits. So with great pleasure, I present to you, the pictures:

As there is still so much to do, I painted the temporary Legshields in a makeshift spray booth. Pictures of the finished product will appear in the coming weeks. Here is a couple of the spray booth for now though.

 

I also had a car issue over the weekend that put a strain on my timings but this was fixed by my Dad so a shout-out goes to him for keeping me on the road. A shout-out also must go to my Mum who provided us both with excellent bacon sandwiches at the weekend and of course for letting me spray paint in the house. Lastly, a thankyou to Steve of Ambivent for coming to visit on the Sunday and keeping up the morale.

I am hoping to get a few bits done during the week so I expect I will have a few more odds and sods off the list by next weekend.
