Well been awhile since I started this topic

But small update in the past months ive not had much chance to do much to it but i've removed all the panels and got back to the frame.

wich will need sanding and painting I also got around to removing the rear wheel wich took work as it was sized solied to uncover I nice rusted and mucky swingarm so I migth just do a full rebuild from the ground up and have the whole frame sandblasted and powdercoated

Will upload pics when I can so u can all see

£400 ?? I only paid £275 for the one pictured in my intro/noobie thread ;o)

So far my total costs (inc purchase price) to get her all road legal and sorted are about £550 (this includes shipping from Cambridge to Aylesbury)

Hmm guess it really was a bargain
