Marmite #2
This is going to be a slow build but here is the first pic of Marmite #2
It's not going to have KR1s front and back end but will have a KR1s front wheel in RGV forks if it works out
Had the tank chemically dipped to see what lurked underneath and it turned out to be pretty solid but had a few dents,one big one in the right side.
Local paint shop (motopaint UK) pulled the dents out and filled and primed it for me and i have some POR 15 tank sealer to put in too
Now for the paint scheme ,i'm 50/50 on which one to go for
This one but in the cream/beige colour of the new Mini's and black stripes
Quite plain i guess but quite understated
Or the Jap spec which i think is a pearl white with red stripe
Or this which i guess is a looker and in yer face but been done a few times

Started doing the tank with the POR 15 tank sealer today.
It's a 3 stage kit and it takes time
I did one on my last LC and was great until the bloke who painted my tank oversprayed all the inside of the tank
Let's just say i went to a different place this time
Degreased the tank with the stage one part (marine clean,mixed with hot water) then put the stage 2 in (metal ready) which disolves the rust and etches the metal
Then spent a few hours forcing air through the tank to dry it out,you get a bit paranoid here as you can't see inside ,so not 100% sure if it is dry or not but i think i went overboard with the drying just to make sure.
This saturday i should be putting the stage 3 part in which is the actual sealer itself and this takes 4 days to dry
