Posted: Tue Jul 07, 2015 9:18 pmI looked up "Project" in the dictionary. There was a picture of your bike. 
Nice work mate. Looks like you've got a job ahead of you. I loved the Blue ones in the day

Posted: Wed Jul 15, 2015 4:16 pmYour skills continue to amaze me. Do you work or just spend a lot of time in the shed?

Posted: Wed Jul 15, 2015 7:03 pmDo a bit here and there in between jobs Davo..."self employed".
Usually try to get one task done before setting others.
Wheels,brakes etc.
Never work at night.
The next job will be stripping the carbs to get them ultrasonically cleaned.
Cant do to much now until parts arrive from OS....1074 wiseco kit and body panels on order.
So now its just a mater of cleaning bits up ready to refit.
This is the best way to get to know your bike.

Posted: Wed Jul 15, 2015 7:56 pmFMD Dave I am self employed as well but don't get any of those in between moments 
but I guess that's why I don't get to much restoring done but as usual she's looking good

Posted: Wed Jul 15, 2015 8:53 pmThe bits so far look sensational mate. Nice work. I admire anyone with the skill,dedication and eye for detail to do this sort of stuff well. Can't wait to see it when it's done. When they released these they were my absolute favourite bike on earth. Love the colour.
