Hi peeps the ss has been an absolute nightmere but I'm getting there now... here is some pics


This was how it was before the major problems started

But after a very stressful house move and plenty of ale I decided to change the look to a more bobber look and I'm very happy

I'v still got my secret weppon to modify and fit but this is pretty much how she's looking :) :) :)

Pretty much nearly finished.... I wasn't keen on the bobber seat springs so they were removed. I now have working lights and indicators which were made from 50 cal brass bullet casings and halogen bulbs fitted in the ends...

The engine now has a nice new EXPENSIVE exhaust which adds to the look I wanted

Won't be long now till I can post a short video with the engine running Hopefully
