First of all i bought the bike off my neighbour for £300 knowing that it needed a bit of work.

This is how it was when i bought it

I knew the wiring was buggered as soon as i took the headlight out.

So i decided to buy a new loom off ebay and start again, but i turned out that the loom i bought had a few breaks in the wires so i had to cut off the good bits and re splice them into my original loom.

Once i knew that the electrics were sorted i started with the strip down to get the frame and a few parts ready for powder coating.

You'll have to excuse the state of the garage.

I then purchased a yamaha fzr 600 front and rear wheel which now sit in the bike frame, but at the mo i have no pics to show this.

Body panels removed ready for paint.

Rusty chrome blasted and re painted black
