Started the rotor casing

Turned my attention to the rotor side casings today. Started in the usual way with sand papers of various grades to shift the worst, then onto wet'n'dry to get the sanding marks out. Next step is over to the felt polishing mops and soaps and finally good ol' Autosol and elbow grease. Anywho this is what I started with.
Lots of interuptions today, but I did manage to finish off the starter motor drive cover.
Really don't want Abigail any shinier than that otherwise she will end up looking like a model bike. I think the pitting on the main casing is going to be a toughie. I need to clean it up but not remove it altogether. That's the job for this week.
