Several trips down the road and 30+ years of neglect and this is the result

That frame weighs a bit too !
Still, the mug of tea is out of harms way and the suzuki is standing by for action

Thanks for posting.

What happened to the razor blade front number plate that's on the old pics and one of your new pics but not on the others photos?

Cheers, D.

Pedestrian slicer is in a box with a load of bits at the mo whilst i get the frame sorted and try and sort some wheels out. If I cant get a new set of front and rear plates I'll restore the original front one and just get a new rear. Need a new vin plate too ome to think of it, the old one is full of tinworm. Any ideas?
