spent a while stripping the frame to bare metal and then painted it candy saphire blue

Scored a headlight bucket from the wreckers for 20 bucks(cheap as) and painted it and the forks and elusive battery cover

and finally the tank got painted, its not actually a honda tank but a scrambler horse(70's honda z50 copy made in taiwan) tank, it doesn't have the right shaped indents in the tank for the honda badges, so i bogged them up and the badges are stuck to the tank. Not correct but not really noticable, if i were doing it now i'd get the right tank but it was my first zed resto so i didnt know any better

Carved up some foam for the seat and recovered it with a cheap ebay seat cover. The foam's shape is all wrong, but as i mentioned it was my first zed so i didnt know any better
