My winter resto
My winter resto
Bought this last October with its front end off. Finished it last week. I'm off for an MOT Monday then gonna put the reg. On a retainer ( never done owt like this before but the previous owner thought it was the way forward) I enjoyed the build and will probably flog it to fund next winters thing.

Do you have any 'before' photos?

Re: My winter resto
Ta mate. I've got tons of before pics but due to phone swapping issues x4 (and subsequent multiple sd card encryptions) I can't bloody access them. I've had the company IT wallers on the case for the last 4 months to no avail. Can't complain too much though as it made me sack off the digital life for a while. I was pleasantly suprised when I came back on here it felt like it was dying.

I'm sure they'll get there... It's worth having Google drive / Google photo set up so it auto backs up your photos, you get unlimited uploads if you have it on 'good' quality settingStumoores wrote:Ta mate.

If you find any before photos please share
What did you do then, and did you have to pay anyone to do stuff?

Re: My winter resto
The powder coating was the only job I farmed out. Total strip down. New head bearings. A carb repair. Fresh tyres. Suspension service and fresh engine gaskets. All the brakes serviced. It's fully auto and 50cc. I was tempted to de-restrict but ended up going down the standard route. I won't lie I did think about giving it the old chop n wide rim mod.

Excellent - good to hear. I don't know how you could spend that much time working on something then not wanting to keep it, but if I had the skill to do stuff up maybe I'd understand more so fair enoughStumoores wrote:Well it passed.
