That`s where it all started:

Frame sandblasted and powdercoated:
Swingarm painted and fitted to frame with all new bearing set:
Frame, suspension and wheels:
New Goldspeed rims, stainless spokes and original hubs powdercoated, all new bearings:
Less engine:
Engine overhaul, all new bearings, con rod, Wössner piston and cylinder porting:

Nearly finished, missing some small parts:
This has been an interesting job. All bearings (frame and engine) plastics, radiators, seat foam and cover, rims, spokes, hoses, graphics, brake discs and hoses, handlebars, controls, wires, bolts, tyres, air filter, FMF Gnarly desert exhaust pipe and powercore 2 silencer..... are new. Suspension is set up by a specialist, cylinder is ported... still waiting new float valve and reed spacer. After that, I hope plenty of fun riding.
