Any parts you need as i still have a few odds n sods lying about. Your not a million miles away either so if you want a bit of mediocre help with anything.

Thanks, tbh I should be ok, I'm contemplating just taking it and getting it welded up by a body shop, everything else is trivial, it still runs well enough, it may need king pins and possibly a crank seal but that can wait. Bodywork first followed by MOT

Yeah I'm looking forward to it, I picked up my new bars today, I'll fit them tomorrow when I get back from work

It was a little rusty where the original paint had peeled but it's covered well with only a little pitting, I'm dead chuffed! It will be even better when it's fitted tomorrow!

Thanks, they will be better when they are fitted, I'll do it when I get in from work, I already have some spacer collars knocked up, so it won't take long to fit, more photos tomorrow,
