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.

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.
