    With a bunch of haggling, I finally got him to trade. He got 2 .22 rifles and I got the Z!

    It's amazing what a little scraping and wet sanding will do to sun faded fenders. Now, if I can just get rid of that ugly a#@ seat cover.........

    that looks awesome, looks like you did more then just sand the fenders. did you tear it down totaly or just paint the easier stuff?

    Would you mind telling us how you did the sanding process? I have been using a razor blade to scrape away the glazed and fadded stuff and then using sandpaper. This is too much work and taking way too long. Also what did you do to get the shine back?
