Well after being advised against it, I've finally done a spreadsheet showing the total costings for the restoration and
have been pleasantly surprised

Including purchse price of the bike, 12 months tax & MOT and rgistration fee, the costing so far comes in at £1551.43.
The only thing that this exclude is the price of the paint job, which Steve at Lonsdale still hasnt given me a price for ( had it back for 5 weeks now, although he did have the bodywork for 5 Months, lol. ) Suppose thats what mates do eh?

to be honest thats good, i know by the time you add the painting, or a realistic figure of what it would have been your around £2k, still good value, what do you get for that now?

Yep, she's a beauty! Is that magteks she's wearing, been a while since I've seen your bike. Jealous...

I'm no cheap skate, but I don't think I can ever claim to have thrown a load of cash at any of my nc30's. More a case of lack of funds than wanting to splash out on them though...and our sh!tty Oz dollar worldwide value :cry:

Cheers Stickshift

I wanted it to be pretty original, but subtle. Think I might have got the balance right.
Soon as the shitty winter weather comes ( next week, probably) then It'll be more parts off to be polished and plated

My missus says I'm obsessed, well with the bike and Danni on X Factor that is ( splurge................)
