Matt, all I’ll say is be careful of using yellow gloss paint on the chassis. It doesn’t last!

Most of the chassis the powder coating is still good so I'm cleaning off all the bad bits and then painting the whole lot to tidy it all up. I'm sure it will be look good for a few years

Fuel tank and back axle now back in, hopefully will get the new rear wheel cylinders and shoes tomorrow then I can refit the brakes and set them up and the back end is done mechanically.
