Oh, come on, @darkman ..... you'll have that finished by Christmas. Well, the motor, at least. Good practice for when I'm ready to hand mine over............
Good to have you back on the job Sir. Crack on you've done worse or just as bad Just makes the before and after pics all the more eye watering. Can't wait
Had a rumage through all my parts and found a few grands worth of parts i had just lying around that i will use on the restoration
Wow don’t know what to make of this thread. First thoughts either a lucky punt with your stash of spare parts or someone who is more akin to a warehouse. Anyway looking forward to seeing your progress
Have a search on the forum for previous projects @darkman has done and it will give you a bit more of an understanding
Excellent cheers I will have a look when u see those first images its fascinating to see how a project begins. I look in envy as I wouldn’t have the time and more importantly the skill
Would I be correct in saying that this will be a basket case, to concourse condition over time. This is going to be a great thread to watch. Let the fun begin.
I found a 67 TR6C that had been converted into a chopper years ago in the US and then forgotten about and stripped down when the engine expired, so i'm going to restore it to original as when it left the factory, luckily i have found most of the original parts i will req other than a few that i'm on the hunt for.
The end result will be the same as always, better than when it left the factory. This thread is like an early Christmas present, thanks once again Darkman for sharing and showing your extraordinary skills at work, quite remarkable!
A bottom yoke, front frame fuel tank fitting (cut off as it was a chopper in a past life), carb, side stand, front mudguard frames, oil tank, 66 on flanged front hub and a small fittings and nuts n bolts.
in america there are so many ex choppers people make a bolt on bracket to fix that missing bracket https://www.thebonnevilleshop.com/p...t-tank-mount-replacement-bracket-pn-83-1798b/
Thanks, have seen a few but might get my friend to make one as the spacer part is req as well, each day i'm finding more parts or swapping parts i have for parts i will req
Picked up my project today, looking at it on the bench i thought i might build a chopper but Su soon put a stop to that lol.
Spent a few hours cleaning the filler off the frame and cutting off the rear frame and bodged side stand lug, next job is to fit a new front tank mount and new side stand lug.
