Engine and Gearbox Parts Ordered and Fender Restoration Started

Hi. 

I have ordered the engine and gearbox parts that Doepie needs for the rebuild from the Netherlands. The parts should arrive in about two weeks time. Which means that Doepie should be able to finish the rebuild of the engine (with the carburettor) and the gearbox by mid December. 

I can then fit the engine and gearbox into the frame over December. 

I have also stripped the paint off both the front and the rear fenders. There is a small amount of panel beating and some welding to do before I can spray paint the fenders. 

The inside of the Rear Fender, after applying paint stripper - notice the original Olive Drab as a 1st coat of paint

The outside of the Rear Fender - notice that the fender was painted Olive Drab, then Silver, then Black.
