1964 Triumph T120 restoration

[stormtrooper]

Hi all,
I am well underway on a restoration of the 64 bonnie which i have been meaning to get stuck into for some time now but there has always been other things to do and has gone on the back burner for the last 10 years. (the run down old house we brought may have had somthing to do with it)
It started its life with me as a 64 but had some bad mods which were not that bad looking back but i like things to be right and a 71 front end and t140 rear wheel just didnt cut it so off they went and the original stock has been fitted, it also came with a 67 tank which i managed to swap for the stock 64, front and rear guards, rims spokes and hubs had to be replaced with stock, its now looking something like it should but still abit to do
Will post up some pics if anyones interested
I am after a seat pan if anyone out there knows of one for sale

Thanks Paul, i am sure that i will need them at some point.
Cheers to the others for the replys
I managed to get some pics of the bike today, its been in the garage for some time and progress has been slow, there are parts that are loose and just sitting there, most of which will be taken off for painting, also there are some new parts that are to arrive.



Not sure why pic does not show? anyone had the same problem?

[Paul in NZ]

Man - thats pretty... Love the colour!

Another pic of the bike for those interested.



No paint as yet, can anyone out there recomend a painter fit for the job?

I'm with Paul on this,pretty as is.

For me (aside from the ride)patina = character in a classic.

But i'm just envious coz I want it.

A blog is the way to do it. There aren't any size limits on pictures you put into the blogs and the word limit is also much higher so you don't have to split posts. Also means they're altogether in 1 place. Check out Eurodave's Steam Punk build and also my project bike.
