A photo of my latest project.
Not sure what i am going to do with it yet.
3 options spring to mind
1. stick it on spanish ebay for a high price and a quick profit
2. break it into bits and sell (this is what i do with most bikes i buy)
3. keep it and restore it for myself. not sure about left foot kick start. i guess i will have to get better brakes?? the pannier racks will have to go and i need a dual seat.
sounds like a nice idear, if i do it up i will post some fotos

Hey there, looks like you have a very good project there, it would be a real shame to break it for spares. I think you truly only have one option and that is to restore it! it looks to all be there and in good condition, just needing a bit of tlc!!


Good luck mate

Don't junk those panniers though, there's about a hundred blokes that'd stampede to get their hands on those!

Also helps if you drop it to save more damage
