Thread: starting series 1 restoration

Looking for the bits can be part of the fun.

its fun wen u find them

finally poured down the slab for the shed hopefully should have the sreies1s in there by july

got it in the shed and started pulling it apart today.got the rhs fender off, the radiator grill, streering rods/arms,where the battery and air filter sit off cut most of the old wiring off and the engine in it is stuffed so i took the tappet valve cover off and the timing chain cover off just so i could have a peek inside. found a bit of rust in the chassis and a few splits also got the bumper bar off.took me about 4 hours. i do have pictures but they are to big to upload and i dont know how to resize them

put them on photobucket mate - makes life alot easier

Is it the original motor? may be worth restoring if it is

Good luck with your restorations. (Hope they progress faster than mine..........).

Cummo, great post! You made my night (yeah, I see you wrote these brutally honest things back in April, but I just saw them...)
