The strip down started this week and is nearly finished ready for blasting. All the controls are in lovely condition, the gear leaver was even flopping about. the cam plate and followers are like new even the little screws holding link rods on unscrewed !!! lots of shiny metal came into view as the grease was wiped away. also signs of a cammo patern has emerged on the side armour, there is the standard factory green and the patches of a darker olive green. another hour tomorrow and its off to the blasters, but it is a real shame to remove all the history in the original paint, but hey i have taken loads of photos.
