    Sounds like it will be needing a "Corgi Run" in the not too distant future...

    Yup

    Chassis is definately rolling, frame and side covers and seat done, new tyres, new bushes, fork tubes every bearing etc etc. Now the electrics are pretty well sorted. NOS harness plus relays for the lights. Might upgrade the rectifier as well... Old one is ... well old....

    Engine is pretty well done...

    Just scored another tank and I'm going to paint it but I don't want the 'restored' look.. I'm thinking black... or gold and ivory, or blue or.. aarrgghh....

    I have a bit of shagging about with the pipes to do...
