Bit of an update on this i picked it up from my mates paint shop the other day hes done an awesome job of it
Even tho we were strugling to find out what shade of white it should be,

when i got it i noticed straight away it had been painted but it just didnt look right it was just too bright plus it was done badly,
so after searching the internet and finding nothing we worked out the chainring must be the original paint so colour matched that which came back as ford diamond white
It looks loads better now just waiting on a few more parts to come this week then i can get it finished

I honestly don't know how I do it but some how my good luck on this build continues again!
A friend of mine who used to have an Evel found this leaflet/hanger that would have been on the bike when new and gave it too me :)
It's a shame the hook was damaged and has been cut off but it's still a cool feature to go with the bike,
 just need a box it came in now ha ha

Bit of an update on this

I've been looking for some girthy hubs for awhile so I can build my NOS super 7x rims on them and keep the other wheels as a rider set
This way I can ride it with out worrying about damaging the NOS rims
 But I haven't seen any for sale anywhere then the other week I saw a Hoffman taj on eBay which had a good set of girthy hubs but the generator rims were knackered
So I did a deal on the whole bike lol
It was for sale on here awhile ago but i thought it had been snapped up,
But TBH it's that nice I'm going to build up another wheel set for it and keep it in my collection


So I stripped the wheels down cleaned the hubs and got them to my wheel builder


Then last week I spotted a Hoffman George going cheap with the original grips that I need so I bought that too and in between that I found an old skid mark tyre



So yeah I think I've pretty much nailed it now,once the wheels are back il get some better pics together and I'm hoping to get it too MK  :daumenhoch:

Nice Taj bud.  You're scoring some nice bikes.  How much did you pay for it?
