Movement at last. Electrics all done and working.
Still a way to go yet but climbing the ladder slowly.
Some nice pics of a nearly finished look.
Well happy with it.  :)
I'm not a complete idiot.....some parts are still missing.

Just thought I would update you all on this project, its been a while.

6/5/20
This project really has taken its time, believe it or not it is still not on the road, technically it is finished, all the chroming is finished etc so ready to show.
I have not updated all the small bits I have done as my mental health took a bit of a dive again and I just couldn't be arsed to be honest. I did take it up and down the road a few times but the brakes were just about non existent so I have put new brake pads and shoes on it but not ridden it on the road to test if all is OK.
I managed to find myself a job over the last 2 years but unfortunately I was let go a week before lockdown. :( No Furlough and can't claim benefits as I hadn't worked long enough. :( Just great for a mental health boost!
Anyways, I slightly digress, have a look at the link for a quick walk around of the bike. I am very happy with it so that's all that counts.  ;D
