Hi chaps and chapesses
I’ve recently purchased a 2009 300 gts from a long time friend who is sadly emigrating and sold me the bike for pretty much peanuts. It’s only done 5000 km but has sat in a garage for last 4 years pretty much unused and yet has suffered the dreaded usual rust issues gts’s have. It’s thankfully not that bad only surface rust is most places but the undertray is a little worse for wear. My plans for the bike is to totally restore the bike better then factory new and add the necessary rust prevention steps for example a hardened paint on the belly pan and having the panel gaps filled and painted with a quality hard clear coat to finish. The engine is going to have a touch also with all the bare aluminium parts powder coated. The reason I’m putting this thread out there is because if anyone’s under taken such a task and have some advise or tips then please share or if your looking to do this yourself then please feel free to ask any questions. I’ll add some photos of my progress when I can figure out how to do so
