Gizmo (79 GTS)

[Miniac]

Maybe this will give you the motivation to move along quickly now

This comment is proving to be true, I found myself some time to tinker on the GTS today, so I started on getting the replacement early model tank ready for paint by starting on the rust removal. There's a small patch(about 1" by 1/2") that might leave room for concern as it looks to be very thin after going over it with a wire brush, I might just get it brazed up or I might just be on the look out for another replacement larger capacity tank again.

The area just below the drain plug in the above pic is the only concern and a dent that I'm going to need to smooth out a little just as a case of neatness.

Another thing that I did today was start to lay out some of the bling bits that I've got to go onto Gizmo just to see how they'd look and what sort of Base colour I should use on the surrounding fixtures so as to contrast and compliment each other well.

Minifin tappet cover which has adorned (for a period of time) every minis engine that I've owned, now needing some TLC I'm hand polishing it back to how it should originally have looked (this is still a work in progress)...
