Engine out, degreased, barrels painted, frame painted.

Tunnels and Tanks

SR400 Tank fitting, cutting out the old tunnel, widening to accommodate the oil filled SR frame

Final tank position established. Collecting the SR400 and Old Nick's XS 650

Pop up 'Bike Show' Paul's XS 650 best in show

Engine back together

Engine back together and reunited with the frame. Whilst it was out the frame I took the opportunity to remove more of the paint from the crankcases that had been administered by the previous owner.
Another couple of days and Yamato should be breathing fire and travelling like Oni fujin, Hai!

Styling it!
