pretty much a new motor apart from the crank and case. Slowly got the parts from everywhere.

cheers guys, loved working on this project. Now for a little something different I wanted a middle brake light so I modded the old engine lid, kept the section if I ever want to change it back too.

The finished rear, I used a bucket full of vinegar which had some rusty parts in it then used the rusty solution to spray on to the panel for that rust look ;)

Awesome job on that engine lid mate, the fab was cool by itself but the blend is spot on.
Chasing any Neiman steering lock parts, will consider anything.

thanks guys, the paint blending is really just an extension of my surfboard repairs. Getting colors to match is always a hard thing to do. Some more pics and video soon
