September 2013 and the engine is stripped.  Cases are cleaned by hand (hours with the rags and carb cleaner!) and various parts cleaned prior to selective plating.

Original solex carbs sent to Carburetor Exchange for refurbishment - returned looking like new!

All tin wear stripped and powder coated.

October 2012 and the gearbox is stripped and parts are cleaned-up prior to the rebuild

'Scrubbing' photos from spring 2012.

Steady progress into summer 2012.  Everything is now stripped off the chassis and the chassis has been 'scrubbed' ready to be blasted.  The suspension is off and all parts have been blasted and polished ready for plating and/or painting. Here we have various suspension and brake parts ready to be plated.
