Got a bunch of work done on my SRV over the last couple of weekends.

Finally got the tank all sanded, prepped, masked and painted with the first coat of pre-surfacer. (Can you spot the bondo?)

I hit the frame with the first round of paint remover. (Tried to find someplace to sand blast it, but they want about $500 and an unspecified amount of time. I'd rather do it myself for that price.)  There's a bit of rust and what-not that is going to take me some time to get cleaned up, but I'll get to it little by little.

I cut the two footrest brackets (or what-ever you call those damn things.)  There will be no need for an exhaust mount that high up and no place for a passenger seat, so I just trimmed them at the dip that's already in the metal then round them off a little.  Once they are painted they should look like they were manufactured that way.

And I also finally got the engine cleaned enough to mask up and paint.  Just first impressions of the first coat, but I think it looks pretty good.
