AJ Turbo arrived and started sanding Pams tank and sprayed rust killer stuff on it, yah, no more 80's blue!
Once naked I got to work with a really shitty old wire brush scratching off all the surface rust on the frame. That done I was then handed an angle grinder *mwhahahaha*, now that was fun, was a little scared of catching my hair on fire, as I removed the rear foot pegs and then started to slowly grind away at the stumps until I was shown how to be a bit more vicious... so anyway, I enjoyed playing with noisey things that make sparks!!
Once that was done AJ handed me another spray can to do the frame, immm, grotty green and then I wheeled Pammy outside to dry in the sun.
After lunch (thanks Skunk Control and my dear hubby), AJ and I took Christine's motor out and I learnt some things about the insides of four stroke engines.
After we tided up a bit we bought Pam back in and AJ sray painted her frame a nice glossey black..., looking good Pammy (forgot to take photo of that, but hey, imagine the green is black).
Had a good day mucking about and getting filthy, thanks Skunk and AJ, looking forward to my next trip to the bucket factory to continue with Pamela's adventure into bucketdom!!
