Looks great Paul and look forward to seeing it with decals.

Thanks for the tip about the Scotch-brite pads- I've used them at work for several years to polish metal, hadn't occurred to me to use them here- bit of a "d'oh!" moment for me!

Great job on the restoration. Did you get the decals fitted? Updated Photos :-)
I see the aftermarket air cleaner was also colour matched. :-)
Was paint used just from normal enamel spray cans, like KillRust?
Did you use a spray can clear coat to stop damage from fuel?
I've painted a mower using enamel spray can, but even after several months (no clearcoat applied), spilt fuel still affected the paint.
Cheers

Hi Daryl,
Paint was KillrRust red and a hammered finish silver, air filter comes in red plastic. The air filter is an aftermarket item but is very close. I'm not sure if clear coat protects the paint but should protect decals.

I have this one here.
Wheels were knackered, so used Victa wheels, but had to shave the back down. They fit a little loose, but it's better than the three it had.
Cleaned the carbie and fuel bowl, replaced spark plug and boot, checked compression and spark. Replaced stop/start toggle, but still won't start. Any suggestions?
