New project :-) ... straight from the 80s
« on: March 15, 2012, 11:39 AM »
So a box turned up yesterday ... no its not a Jawa Sandcrawler  ;D



...quick peek inside...



Here she is  8)



A quick check over confirmed that the chrome was pretty good and would deffo stay as a survivor  :daumenhoch:

Just need some new tyres ( gary? ) and few bits to get her sorted :angel: gonna get busy with the Peek tonight.

Big thanks to RADster gavindavis for sorting this out for me after it had hung in his garage for years ... I thought it had got away but thank the maker for high air shipping costs  :4_17_5:

Great little project ed.  :)

By the way I would black out your postal address on the parcel mate. You don't want to advertise where your bike stash is! :daumenhoch:
Or recieve any dodgy parcels from some of the weirdos on here!  :LolLolLolLol:
