The rear and outer fenders back on. This rear fender came from Robin some time ago.
It is in perfect condition unlike the original unit which has a lot of pitting in the chrome.

I was just about to say that was a US spec rear fender, not European. anim-cheers1

I had forgotten you got that. I remembered you bought some stuff awhile back and then some more not long ago.

Progress is slow but steady. Saturday is my day to do this work. Now that she is on the way back together I hope to have her finished by Christmas.

Ever since my episode earlier this year I cannot stand the cold.
I missed the last 2 saturdays because of this. Over here we get a different kind of cold, rarely goes below freezing but it's damp and windy so it gets into your bones.
I have to hang a couple of doors in this doorway and move into the room.
I bought the hardware yesterday to hang 3 doors that I am recycling.
Got them from my neighbour he was throwing them out.
I have a heater in there, so it should be a bit more comfortable.
