Next job was to look at the tiller, which was slightly bent! A bit of gentle persuasion worked a treat here. Does anybody have any idea what the original tiller grips were?

Next job was the tank, which had some deep rust. So I decided to strip it back to bare metal and repaint it. The waterslide decals came from Sharpy, who also supplies John at SOS.
