Not touched my baby for a while. Nearly flogged it twice on ebay and bottled it last minute! But I've fell back in love with it. Progress is slow but it's moving. ? hopefully fitting the electrical box this week. ☺

Struggling for space to fit any of the sparky witch craft things I've decided (for now) to sling an ammo tin on the side. Whilst at work I made the threaded tabs to weld on the frame. Since they are robust and importantly waterproof I feel ammo tins make a decent option not to mention oozing coolness

Latest picture. In the process of fitting/fabricating mounts etc for rear fender once that's welded on I'll be timing the motor to the alternator then going for the big fire up! Haven't heard this thing run yet Also Ordered brake lines, custom clutch and throttle cable kits........I'm getting there slow but sure!

'Kin ell! Shouldn't have any problems bleeding that front brake judging by the height of that master cylinder!

Yesterday's progress, front brake built up. New master cylinder, brake lines, seals, pistons & pads...........the build continues. Another day off work Friday so hopefully fingers crossed it may be fired up! (I've never heard it run btw)

Congratulations, not quite what I expected when you started, or my cup of tea, but something different and a one off.
That seat doesn't look comfortable

Excellent! Did it scare the neighbours when it fired up ?

No. But it woke the little Un up and the Mrs wasn't impressed......well worth it though. Haha.
Yeah Bev it's certainly had a few different looks and I'm now "about" happy with the result.
Finished off the wiring today. And knock me down with a feather it all works. For how long remains to be seen haha.
