Stripping the bike

One, two and no three. This must go fast. First the tank and plastics went out, and then quickly the ugly paint job, too.

It turned that the bottom of the tank shows much more repairing, with huge layer of cement and traces of welding.

After removing the previous paint with an abrasive paper and chemicals (no sanding) the condition of the tank shows as follows - at least three unexpected new dents in it :)

The next step will be cutting off the damaged "tissue" and welding new metal sheet to the tank. 

The layers of paint of the mudguard are equally colourful - it turned the bike was originally blue metallic.
