Wyer returned freshly painted tank, seat unit and the mudguard, they've turned out better than I expected. I couldn't resist mocking it up (obvs taking pics too) and it's looking swell! I still have a few things I need to finish and rattle can before I built it up properly. I need to tidy the paint on the engine and will need to recover the seat (tighter) The only thing I might add is a 70's style decal on the side of the tank and seat unit. Here's some pics Think I'll wire brush the black bits on the engine, mask if off in the bike and heat proof paint, rattle can it black

Bloody love this bike . I am going to have to watch Goose doing a burnout on youtube now . mint. I was going to buy a new rear tyre but my mate convinced me to keep the Dunlop death master on until it's finished. So I can do a burn out before replacing it. I'm need to watch the goose burn out clip too now haha

2 things. You can shape that seat foam nicely with a flap wheel on an angle grinder. THIS NEEDS A FAIRING, then go and buy a biltwell helmet The seat may get redone ..... or it may not lol. I did toy with the idea of fairing. And this could happen when I'm bored with the look. After a lot of deliberating this in my head and decided it would look better without fairing. I think the fairing could add a look of "trying to hard" I also like th clean look, nothing's hiding, if you know what I mean As for a helmet. I bought a biltwell Gringo before i picked a bike hahah

Covered the wooden seat base I made, with the original foam and seat cover. Cut it down glued and stapled it It's a little loose but think it will be one when fitted

Quality I feel like I cut my motoring teeth on 80's films. Mad max being one of my favourites. Been busy with the rattle can Frame Mug guard holder (having the mud guard sprayed but might leave it off) The light looks so much better satin black (rather then chrome) Exhaust cut and welded. Sprayed wood burner black Ready for wrapping and fitting Need to cut weld and spray the front indicators stalks. Tidy wiring next

My mate is building a z650. And he's kindly donated the indicators. So I haven't e matching fri t and back. The rear lenses are very dull, and the fronts need shortening. During quiet time, we have been spraying bits up Filler cap I love it.

surely matching the "baby-sick beige" will be more of a hassle than repairing the hole? There is certainly more pressing problems at hand hahah

Love it! Back to basics motoring? What's this welding business? I thought they were made from wood shavings and Aradite spread over some old Shreddies boxes? hahah the body is, my mrs drove into the back of my tractor the arm went straight through the body, its like thick cardboard or really thin chipboard.

Looking good. Depending where you are I have a spare door glass and tonnes of other parts for a kombi I'm in Somerset though Do you site have the glass? Would you consider couriers to ship if you put it in between 2 bits of ply? I'd pay for all its and courier up front ? Took the lpg kit out, does 40mpg on petrol and I never to weld the boot floor so will be up for sale as a complete kit As we've never used it and it's been ours for over a year, I expected the tank to be empty I was wrong Very wrong. Also after a mk1/2 1.6 driver engine (carbs) with gearbox
