1989 ns125f

Picked this wee unit up on Friday there

Not like I needed another project but couldn't turn it town

1989 ns125f
2 stroke
No plate on it but came with the v5
Missing quite a few parts

Made sure it ran on Saturday morning then started on the stripdown

Went over the frame with hot wash arond 85 degrees and it took the factory top coat off and left the primer

Good enough for me, i wirewheeled the few wee rusty patches and metal primed then filler primed it

Didnt take any photos of it in filler

Had a look through what paint i had in drawer

Decided on subaru royal violet, thats some leftover paint from my legacy gtb for tank and plastics

Then some honda golden brown for frame and wheels

Stripped the swingarm and its rotten so going to have to get a replacement

Ordered some parts last night off ebay
Tank
Seat
Forks
Throttle cable
Headlight and brackets
Clocks

Should be fun when done
