Winter

I painted the frame too, although not all of it. I preped the frame as I did the engine. I bought some steel brush drill bits, which cut the job in half, and finished with wet/dry paper. Managed to get all the rust off and touched up the affected areas. Now all the plastic is off, I will do the same with the rest of it. I am just using the same engine paint for this too, as it is waterproof with a rust inhibitor built in and the color is pretty close.
As for the grips. I generally use R & G numbers. This time I sourced a set of ROXTER grips, which are re-branded Oxford grips. On review, they do very well. I managed to get them for just £28! I put a link to the company I got them from up there /\
I could have had the engine powdercoated for cost price, but getting it out would have been hard work. I have a 4 ton lift in work that would have done it, but I would have had to ask my friend to help me with that one. Transporting the engine would have been hard too, as I drive an MX5 witch has less storage room than the Fazer  :rolleyes
