from nothing more than a frame,
I been collecting parts over the last few months to make this project a reality but as it is now to be someones crimbo pressie the presure is on?
I have the major parts only to find first hurdle no bearing carriesr in the frame, then no gaitors for the forks, bolts well I dont have any!
So hey ho here we go!


Managed an hour and a bit in the garage this afternoon before hyperthemia set in!

When we rebuild the engines we Gold pasivate the parts like the rotar and the battery tray etc, some early ones have alloys rotars so we polishe them like chrome.
Sad I know but we restore everything like new!
