I paid the right money for it though, but its around a grand in parts alone to put back to stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One from many moons ago and one a mate restored a few years ago. The bloke who had it was 84 and as i said he did the work on it (if you can call it work) I will get around to putting it right at some point this year, i already have the correct head and side panels, i will get the tank panels chromed. Exhaust will probably come from India and it will need putting back into a Honda colour probably Blue. As i said i paid the right money so there is the cash still in it to do all that, There making around £1650 ATM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
