      Cleaning up the parts, I have access to a shot blaster and vapour/Vaqua blaster so this is what I used to clean up the parts and prep them for powder coat.

      Shot blasted some parts

                Will be replacing the wheel rims with gold anodised aluminium rims and orignal dt hubs so I took the tires off and cut spokes to save time as I plan to used stainless steel spokes anyway,

                            Cleaned up some bits bolts and hardware to see what they will turn out like,

                            I Vaqua blasted them

                            some to paint/powder coat and others are to to get zinc plated will be replacing a lot with new ones too

                            E8A345D4-0E48-4C46-A410-CDDE8643A71A.jpeg

                            Most Of them turned out great
                            Zinc plating makes them look like new again

                            Deep pitting where rust and been and scratches in the bolts does show up tho

                                    Forks are in good condition no rusting or pitting on the stanchions so a strip and a clean and add progressive fork springs to improve the front suspension and course new seals

                                    Tubes to be polished up to a chrome like finish

                                        A nice package has arrived for the Dt but what could it be :face_with_open_mouth:

                                        987C22CE-1CF5-4A3E-A3AB-1F18C4AE654F.jpeg

                                        It’s the dt 200 engine 3ET engine ready to overhaul and drop in the freshly powder coated frame.

                                        61A5C2A7-6BE0-4B54-9406-B6895C33123C.jpeg

                                        Will update the engine progress accordingly and plenty of pictures of stripping down.

                                          Nice engine.

                                          Not to rain on the parade, I think it's slightly inferior to the 3XP00 engine. But let us know how you get on.

                                          I think the ports are slightly different.

                                            @Calum It's very inferior to the 3XP-4BF WR200. No Aux boost ports and very tame port timing.

                                            @mhbikesnbits I'm liking the project man, should be sweet! The 3ET lump with some breathing mods will make a nice road going 2stroke. It's a very unstressed engine, plenty of torque down low. Kind of want one as well,

                                            I didn't like the damage to the crankcase and the price of that one, but a good project base, keep us posted.

                                            Keep it real
