Title: What a week
Post by: ren-dog on March 20, 2010, 04:27:29 AM

Well after much skiving, twisting of arms and $$$ of course.
I might be close to reassembling this LONG term project called FJ. :yahoo:
Firstly I finished straightening the frame, got it soda blasted and have finally given it an epoxy based undercoat.

Yay, a pallet of 1991 FZR1000 rims, brakes and front forks turned up. :good:

Now to pack it all away until I get some more time off. :mad:

Ha ha ... the cyclone missed me by about 45km's. :good2:
Just alot of rain and some wind here.

Anyway, what colour to paint the frame?
NOT chrome pink, baby poo brown, sunshine yellow, etc.

I would go with "precious silver pearl" its an easily available dulux powder coat and IMHO looks better than white. For some reason I don't like the red or black.

Mate who needs to worry about natural disasters when you have Anna Bligh :bomb:

White looks allright to me. Maybe black if you can't be bothered to keep it clean.

Cyclone Ului WTF. :bomb:

It hit me in Airlie Beach Saturday Night...............direct hit with 205kph (125MPH) winds............2 hours blowing from one direction..................two hours of calm as the 75k (45 mile) eye passed over then 2 hours blowing from the opposite direction. I'm now the proud owner of a 250 litre solar hot water service which landed in my back yard.............only "slightly" damaged. Oh yeah and the trees in my yard have had a severe hair cut, they look more like pet sticks now.

Go the silver ren-dog.................Yamaha got it right the first time :good2:

TeeeCeee....good to see you are still about.....had been wondering how you faired.

Congrats on the new hot water service.....lol.

I saw on the news last night that one of my old haunts - the Eungella Chalet - has been destroyed AGAIN...... hope the owners can re-build like they did back in the early '70s...... it was a great place for many years for a beer and a relax, even going back to WW2 when it was used as R&R accommodation for US troops.

Sorry to hear about your back yard TeeeCeee.
Mine just filled with water, almost to my knees.
I dunno, I just feel if I'd wanted silver or chrome I would have bought a Harley. :dash1:
I really like the drag bike (http://www.fjowners.com/index.php?topic=1698.msg13476#msg13476), FJ1289's is building with the black frame.
Either way I need to make a decision before I start putting the suspension back together.
Go Queenslander.
