It will just have to stay parked until the right donor comes along. In the meantime I am looking through the garage for sale items to raise the cash!

Pops400, suggestion to raise cash, have you considered Trading Down from that  New BMW super car you have... ;) ;D

Pops400:
Unfortunately, sending a company car back doesn't really net me any cash, even if it were a supercar, which it very definitely isn't. 😉

Pops400:
Hello all. It’s been some time and not a happy time.

Unfortunately, I have more than lost faith in this project having lost my Father and then my brother very quickly afterwards.

After a lot of soul searching, I have decided that this is not going to happen for me and is too far gone to save anyway. I don’t want a “triggers broom” and sadly there isn’t enough that I have the capability or money to save. I did get someone willing to do the frame, but sadly they have properly butchered it, so it needs more than I can justify.

I will part out what is potentially useful to people on here, as I had a lot of good advice and friendly help and would like bits to go to genuine enthusiasts, so hope to be able to post some bits for sale on here if that’s ok. Carbs, engine, maybe wheels. Not much else any use I don’t think, possibly indicators if someone wanted to try and save them.

Thank you for the help and interest shown, but my heart has been taken out of this one now.

Best wishes to everyone.

Pop.

So sorry to hear of your loss, I was wondering the other day what had happened to you and your Wotsits munching helper (Jess?) Stay safe, give our regards to your daughter, hopefully she has the bug now and will want a bike of her own when she is old enough, so don't lose touch with us on here!
