Last weekend:
Martin had some troubles with a leaking roof so we only worked on Saturday.
He finished the mudguard and worked on the exhaust and I worked on the battery and electrics box.
The shape of the box is inspired by an old oil tank. With the paper mock up from the week before I first made a carton version and after some tweaking I used that to make a metal version. Next time I'm going to weld the thing, looking forward to that! :)
But first it's time for our Rusty Gold Swap Meet!
Don't forget! Rusty Gold this sunday at the Cruise-Inn in Amsterdam.
We are praying for good weather and we hope to see you all there!
Two weekends ago:
Martin and I decided the rear of the GR needed some extra attention.
So we chopped of the rear mudguard and tried to straighten the sub frame a little by grinding the frame on the right side, pushing it down a mm or two and welding it together again. It's hard to see in the pictures but it's a little better now. :)
Than we tried to attache the rear mudguard in a straight line on the frame. Wow, what a pain in the ass, it took us ages to get it right!!! To be honest it still isn't perfect but it will do, ha!
Than Martin tried to make a nice flowing line from the rear mudguard to the frame and meanwhile I to worked on a paper and tape sketch for the battery box.
