'Stacey' update

Well the shell of 'Stacey' is back with us. Candy Apple Red on a metallic silver base with four coats of lacquer. She has been sandblasted, powder coated, filled, sanded, primed and polished. She shines and the photos don't do her justice. She's got two more days to just cure a little more and then she is ready for assembling.

In the meantime, we have the engine to strip!

our first view of 'Stacey'


Look at the 'shine' and lustre of that paint


All the dents, rust patches and dings miraculously gone


Number 1 son is extremely pleased with his colour choice


a new floor has been welded in and you can't see the seam


the glovebox drop down flap


mudguard and forks


front and rear hubs with engine cowl cover


a lovely deep colour


now all we have to do is reassemble her

  2. Hi Rob.
    he is doing the lot! Costing an arm and a leg but we are spreading the payments.
    it will be chrome silver wheel rims; chrome brake plates; and then white rubber trims

    we've been tackling the engine - oh what joys!

    how is the sailing in annie going?
