CHAPTER ONE - 6

I was just going to rebuild it and leave the paintwork as it is, but I have decided to strip it down again and start from scratch. The motorcycle could have stood for years with no attention, so if I just rebuilt it I could get problems later on. I reduced my Dnepr to kit form and rebuilt it and I must say it has been worth it. The M66 is almost original so I am going to try and keep it that way with the exception of the white side panels. The frame has been painted black, so I will   re-spray it the same blue as the rest, with a gold coach line around it. Hopefully this will look good and in keeping with the original. The pots have also been painted black; hopefully I will be able to find some paint to match the rest of the bike without making it look odd.  

Ongoing progress of the restoration will be shown over the coming months, on the website; I think this will be in the format of pictures, tracking each section upon completion.
