Spanners

SO the story goes like this.
I buy a 750 SXi via photos..
Turns out the photos were taken from its one good angle.
I think a crack head had a go at painting it.




Someone likes corks...





And the best part about it


The motor is a recent transplant by the look of it and if a hunnie!



So I started to strip it, the inside of the hull took 5 goes with degreaser and 3 goes with the waterblaster.. I've never see anything so filthy.
Forgot to take a pic of it and just got stuck into the cleaning.


Started a little sanding



Some not very nice surprises



It has begun....

How much for the lanyard? I will need two of them. Thanks

Spanners

I paid around $800us on trailer for it (I'm In New Zealand) which is well under 1/2 of what a average stocker is worth here.
Has 'Kawasaki 750sx Racing' rideplate and Scat impeller.
Engine is sweet.

I need a project for when I'm not at wk.
Going black hull, fluro green top

Any other unexpected finds?

Spanners

Nope.. hull is cleaning up ok.
I'm a newb when it comes to sanding and ****, but looking good.
Might get some primer on it tomorrow?
