S1 1955 restoration complete (or at least slowed down)

[JimUSA]

I have been working on my 1955 S1 for the past two years or so and finally have it on the road and working more or less how I think it should. Hard to say it is "done" but it is doing pretty well.


I have spent a lot of time on this site looking up good advice and wanted to show you the results. I have posted some before and after pics below -- hundreds more are available.


I will also post a few lessons learned (in a separate thread) for those foolish enough to try something like this with as little knowledge as I had starting out.


Cheers, Jim
