That 17" looks schmick. I'm 99% certain I'm retaining the original green colour. It is such a classic colour matched with a red reel and I also think I'll keep the original engine and give that a freshen up. I removed the clutch and the keyway looks fine so I'm assuming there were no issues there with engine/clutch interface. I never started the machine but my mate did and said it ran fine.
My concern at the moment are the handlebars. They are soaking in vinegar and I've been able to clean parts of it up with alfoil to get rid of rust but it has some heavy areas that I'm not sure I'll be able to fix. I may end up painting the handlebars but will see how I go.
Cheers
