Just had the first real prod and a poke of my 350 project.
First impressions are good, obviously it will need a complete strip down and a few quid thrown at it.
What I've discovered so far is.
A dealers sticker
Some interesting wiring
What looks like some kind of resin on the bottom of the tank
The original exhausts have rotted where the down pipes and mufflers meet, mufflers have split along the seams
Fuel tap bowl has been screwed in so tightly to the tap it's self has broken
Lots of dust, sand and dead spiders.
On the plus side I do have working indicators, main beam, idiot lights, a pretty decent seat and a spark
The main aim this weekend is to get the engine started briefly just to make sure it's not making any nasty noises. Then I'll start the strip and list writing.
Well that's the next couple of years weekend entertainment sorted out, now I just need lots of cash.
More as it happens
Tim
