Thanks Jeff yeah defiantly not doing this one up as original just would be happy to get it back to life !


A little more progress , I've now rebuilt the engine on 1st oversized using cruzinimage pistons etc all went well with the Engine rebuild so happy with my work because I didn't even break any rings :D

Engine is now all complete and ready to go back in the frame , still waiting on wheel rebuilder to do his magic

Had a great time on the Isle of Man and now back home , finished work early and because it was such a lovely day Sarnd said I should do some work in the Garden, so Me being me did just that , I got the rust bucket out and worked on that , well it was in the Garden after all :lol: :lol:

Wow, VERY FAST Kenny!!

It's looking great...even for a KH (not my cup of tea)! Considering where & what shape it was in when you dragged it home, it's looks spectacular now!!
