Thanks for the comment's guys really appreciate them not been on the forum for a bit as I've been ran off my feet helping my dad,
All the comment's really inspire me to get going on her. When I see the concourse bikes done I can totally appreciate the skill and the ability that it takes to get one done like that, unfortunately I haven't got the skill or the ability to do one like that yet as we all have to, I'm currently going through the pain barriers of learning and making mistakes along the way.
I'm having to paint in the garden, while next door have got angle grinders going creating dust clouds the joys the amount of times I've had to grab half done stuff an try move it.
The main thing was to get her back into WD colours an protected till I'm in the position both funds and location wise and have the skill to really go to town on her. I feel so lucky to own a WD bike let alone my dream Norton WD16H still have to pinch my
Regarding Scott's comment I agonised over what to do regarding patina and pit's decided as my RD250LC and My 1968 Norton Commando that's show condition I fancied something a bit different an fully intend to ride her to all the events once she's done still can't wait to meet everyone when this covid is over.
I agonised over that as my inner perfectionist wanted to do her like the cracking resto's Ron, Rik, Ian, Barry, etc all do.
It was the same with hand painting the numbers and roundels which was an enjoyable learning curve. I'm hoping that me having a go and facing the big learning curves in painting matt paint's darn that was hard! and learning other stuff inspires other people my age to get one have a go and join our wonderful British bike community it's been a huge learning curve but a very enjoyable one without younger people even younger than me in my early 30's getting into them the skillset wont be there in the future to keep these beauties running.
As the others say in the future I may revisit and get her super smooth or on a second wd bike they seem to have a way of breeding ha! Always got that option as my skills develop.
I kept the pits but got rid of any rust was hardly any on her tbh very clean.
regarding the screw threads as Ian says they are mechanical so had to be spot on so I don't destroy the threads on my nos levers that a few other members helped me out with without the help and advise of you all I wouldn't have been able to do it or got this far.
She's having to be done on an absolute shoe string budget as we lost our family print company but I'm doing my best to keep a tiny bit of progress going on her as an when I can an funds allow.
I'm totally Brit bike obsessed an hopefully she will not be my last.
Here's my Commando which I'm re doing the engine on an my 650ss which I've owned for 10 years which I got from the original owner an use as my daily that was my first ever go at painting ever on a bike so the wd one is only my 2nd :) learnt loads re commissioning the 650ss an she's super reliable now.
If anything I suffer from motorcycle acquisition syndrome haha tends to run me out of funds, the British bikes are life long keepers though hope to have them till the day I die an then if I'm lucky enough to have some hopefully they can have the relationship I've been lucky enough to enjoy with my dad I know not everyone has that an I feel lucky to an I can teach my lil ones what I've learnt an give them the bikes.
So thank's again to everyone looking forward making some more progress on her 
just been eying up a few little bits.

Lil bit of progress :) fitted the mag plate that one of the forum members helped me out with over the moon with how it looks. Gonnna do the positioning properly soon as I can get the bike out again. Had a mini melt down thinking it had accidentally been thrown out while we were tidying up the other day oopps! After a hour of looking through storage boxes remembered I'd put it in my bedside table do I didn't loose it lol.
Hopefully should be back on with making a bit of progress once some leathers an a few spares for my rd's sell.

Been able to finally get her out again an give her a bit of a clean from next doors building work also made it so I can work on her in the workshop cramped I admit but still enough room to do a few things.
Been looking at what to do with the Carb on her an been thinking whether to get one of the new Amal ones for riding about on anyone been using any I've used the monboloc an the Concentric ones which have been good but not a pre monobloc
Thanks in advance.
