Excellent work, Jaap. I like the jig you made for the front axle; based on two Gamma trolleys?

Can I ask you which brand and type of primer you use?

Keep up the good work.

he alex
I use the jig on the trolley's for the rear axle aswell, it works fine, you can roll it everywhere you want. I made it of some hardwood and cutout half a circle on the top to carry the axle.
the primer I use is the normal iron primer you can buy in every do it yourself shop (gamma) and it works fine.
cheers jaap.

jeee the frame is back from the blasters, and it looks like new . I painted the frame first with iron primer and later in dark olive drapp. the inside I painted with protecting tectiel,only on the sides you don't see.
the last pcture is with the front axle in front of it.

on the inside of the frame I welded small bolds for bolting on the fuel and brake lines, I put the frame a side to start on the rear axle. first I cleaned the dirt of it and then took it apart step by step.
