Well finally i enjoyed the money with my friends and my Bul will have to wait... maybe in christmast with Noel... LOL !!! And now i have to study for my sptember exams!!! But ive been doing some little things.
First i have move my garage to my grandpas garage!! His house is next to me ( comunicated by a wooden door in the garden ) and they live almost 11 months in Washington DC. Heres a pic of my new work center i took with a cellular phone ( im sorry ops: )
Ive been painting the chassis, this shot was taken while painting.
I have completely finished the carburetor. ( well, have to remove those macaroni ( thats how we say in spain )). im very pleased with this work, seems new!
Also i have been working with the rims, but still need more hours!!
Now im working cleaning the cylinder !!!, the good thing is that its already rectified
And for last i have added a sticker to the front mudguard, do you like ??
My intention was to restore every part and then assemble it, but i have thought that my priority is to know if the Bul works so i think im going to restore those parts that would be complicated to take off, like inside parts, ( electric sistem, air filter carburetor etc..) and things like rims, console, seat etc will be restored after that you have heared his sound ( hope next year¿?¿¿?¿ arghhhhh !! I need a work to have some money but have to study....!! )
Btw, 3 days ago was my 6 months in JW !! half a year!!

==================
Ive finished the chassis
This is a OH SHIT !!!
Now im working with the subchassis
before:
after BlackDecker blast , sand blast and applied my "oxide destroyer".
Here you can see the efects of my oxide destructor, the white liquid is the reaction to Fosforic Acid, when its dry i have to sand blast again, clean the dust ( consecuence of sand...) and buy a new black spray for paint it!!
====================
The other day i had some rides with the Suzuki !!!
A photoshop image I like!!
Now im shaved, no more easy rider look

time for fuel tank!! Dont have painted it yet, im not sure with the colours, i have the idea ( as youll see in a picture later ) but dont know what colours, HELP MEEE Ideas will be very much appreciated!!
:arrow: First Sand!
My friend "Paker" showing me the technic!!
There were three kind of colours... many hours sanding...
Sanding time
:arrow: FIBERGLASS
After sand have to cover little pores, little scratches...
completely "fiberglassed"
Fiberglass sanded!!
and finally
:arrow: THE BIG PORE ( you can see a picture in the update before these one)
sand again, but carefully, and theres no more pore and the tank is almost new
The way im going to paint, 2 colours, one the tank and the other the stripes. DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA !!! TELL ME!!
Well, now im working in the side covers, i was sanding and suddenly realized what was the strange word under the paint layer... COOOOOL !!!
Also you can see a little bit of "light blue". that was a colour test, obviously was fail!!
Enjoy !!
Edit: Anyone having problems uploading with imageshack ?? its insane for me try to upload 20 times a picture!! :bad-words:
