You mean photos of my project?

He looked at my Gold Leaf Team Lotus in its infancy as he's also friends with the guys that painted that.

Had a spare 5 minutes today so put these nice original italian brake adjusters in the ultra sonic cleaner and they've come out as good as new. does my head in when people cant be arsed cleaning original parts and put cheap crappy stainless parts on their original scooters. in my opinion you should always put the original parts back on any original italian scooter as long as you can save them. once cleaned give them a good soaking with this stuff, ACF50 its top knotch stuff and i really recommend it. heres some before and after photos.

We use ACF50 at work for water proofing parts that go on life boats, its the mutts nut. I've always been a fan of ultrasonic cleaners, super deep cleaning.

Great work. Must admit I didn't get the paint untill the pinstriping but its a great look.
Have to agree about using original parts. Saves workshop time in the end because they fit and actually work.
I went to clear a garage of an old mate some months ago and could have cried when I asked what happened to all the old bits when he stripped one of the bikes for resto. He'd binned them and instead presented a box with stainless tat instead. Choke levers,brake adjusters etc etc-gutted
I think its great the way the scene seems to be going away from bling bling bikes and many more real world scoots being built. You can't buy style!
