She aint that bad at all!

Miles away from being a basket case.. just the usual wear and tear from 20 years of rain.

Bit of TLC and she'll be up to spec in no time :)

The low mileage is why i bought it in the first place. The cosmetics are not really a problem, i`ve blasted and painted / powdercoated every bracket etc and so far its gone really well. Fortunately the tank is mint with no dents or scratches.

The rads have suffered with salt corrosion, so i sourced a really nice lower one, blasted the fan frame and fan motor body and rebuilt.
