Progress is slow but in enjoying the build up of the chassis

Sneak preview of body work . Decided in the end to do a replica of a replica but I didn't fancy green.

I remember seeing a blue kwak a few years back so I thought screw it

All stripes painted on and done by will at 1Off Designs Dartford Kent

Next is the gpz1100a3 motors turn for a little freshen up

Got head gasket todo as its leaking oil on the left hand side .
While the head is off I think it's wise to install new valve stem seals and set all the valve clearances

Then strip all the old paint off as it's ruined and repainted that

Love that paint scheme , it was always going to struggle next to green but these days has a bit of exclusivity and would be quite tempted myself by this colour. More pics please !
