Looks like a good start, I've had worse (probably) and currently have 3 such 'projects' waiting for attention in the future. Good luck with it. Mine will remain in the barn until a years worth min of Diy gets done - young family on the way, bikes take a rear seat for now, as long as 1 is on the road all is well.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock

Great stuff, not mad at all.

My bike looked as bad as that and now fifteen years later it still does :), almost, the only difference is it works now!

Would be nice if you had an engine to go with it...

Hope that you didn't pay anything for it either...

I now it's a lot of work to go but it feels really nice to get those black bits back all nicely finished, looks like quite a nice finish as well.
