G'day all

Postby Zxracer » Sun Nov 07, 2010 5:44 pm

Just wanna say a quick hi to everyone here. I'm rather noobish with all this so please bear with me :)

I'm currently in the process of restoring a Z500, ground up. Just had the frame redone, and rebuilt the front end. Rear shocks and assorted bits to go on soon. Then, the engine. I've been putting it off as long as I can cos its a lotta work, but I'm starting to run out of excuses not to get on with it now. :x

So yeah, hi, and please be gentle. Its my first time.....

Thanks! :)

I've always wanted an old Zed ever since I saw Mad Max. :lol: So this is a labour of love for me. Even if it is only the 500.

I think the next project is gonna be a 'Goose' replica though.

Cheers all for the welcomes. :D

Latest drama on the Z500 is the starter gear is, well, lunched. Guess I'm looking for a new starter. :x
