Enjoying these restoration threads, looks like plenty elbow grease required for this one

[SAS Tom]

That looks rough as hell. Good luck with it!

Looks like quite a good warehouse - bet it's been somewhere else before that for that level of corrosion.

looks like it has been stored at the bottom of the village pond

Well the bike was stored close to the sea at Gran Canaria before the warehouse.
I will bought the bike two weeks ago so I have some more updates to roll...
I have been soda blasting the engine outside before I begun tearing it down, same with big part of the aluminium parts as I found this the best way to clean up before painting the stuff again

Because I can
Because I have a great time restoring old junk
Because I have the skills and time to do it

Wow this is ace. It looks like you're a fair way into it already!

[Jan K]

I’m gone restore all oem parts but I won’t put them all on as I will have second suspension/brake setup for the local twisty mountain roads.
