Blasted Triumph

[cc rider]

Thank you for the offer Stu, but I'll have wait to bring it with rest of the bikes. I don't know what paint design I want yet. I'll prob be towards the end & I have a hell of along way to go. lol

The down side of sand blasting, is that it hardens the steel, on thin panels like car doors boots and bonnets it can streatch the metal, often does.

Cheers Pedro. Yep, that's why I'm going with Baking Soda. Tank is in a pretty good state except for a couple small dents. I's the only part that couldn't get blasted with the rest. I need to decide what I want to do about the tank selector holes too.

Update

I've been over here in NZ for a fews mths now, so needless to say unable to do anything on the trump. I have made a few good contacts.
I won't be restoring it any further until after I move perm & dependent on space.

On the plus side, I did a bit of sand blasting the other day. On a Bown saddle seat that weta is working on. Was good to have a go.
Interesting wee bike.
