The Mrs saw this old girl advertised on the noticeboard at the local IGA.

Picked it up and surprised me yesterday arvo. Apparently it doesn't start and hasn't been used in quite a while.

Reckon it's worth giving the old girl a birthday and getting her running again?

Hi Falcon82,
Anything is possible as we have just witnessed with what BB just achieved in the thread "Rise Like the Phoenix"

Hi Norm and Falcon,

Yes you are spot on Norm, that's for sure, but the only limitations are skill and ..........................Money !

BTW, thanks Norm for your kind words.


Now,

The first thing I'd be asking with this scenario is what is the desired outcome with this machine as it looks to be a fairly honest machine that's not had much done to it during it's lifespan apart from a Clutch half change and also some creative catcher rubbers fitted.

My educated guess will tell me that this machine will have some stress fractures in the rear chassis rail as that's been the result of a flogged out clutch that's been replaced at some point in it's life.

The first thing I'd do is remove the engine from the chassis and inspect what's underneath, but again I must ask the question, what are your intentions with this one ?

Cheers,
BB.


I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
