bits!
Just wheeled and deal ed and I'm getting a nice old cb750 chop,akront rims short forks etc,I'm doing a more trad style old school chop with it,I'm getting it on Friday,I'm also sometime soon getting a ex drag race ford Granada,tubbed rear,e type axle,Matt black,rollcage,it did have a over bored 454 big block,but its worth over 6k and it puts out over 600hp,cant afford that,but I'm having the car,i think ill put a small block Chevy engine in it.My Morris is now sold (needed the cash etc) the guy who bought it ,is putting a Lexus v8 in it 260hp ,i didn't really want to sell it,but i couldn't really fit in it if I'm honest,the Granada is cool,i can fit in it,and it looks fucking mad,like a big roller skate,i should have it soon,just making space for more projects and cool shit i like,ill have some pics of some of it soon

NSU update (again...groan)
stainless frame cradle now constructed,i have placed my old engine in whilst the other one is getting done on the polisher,i have placed the blower behind the motor and i will be making a much madder curly set of pipes to fill the gap between the front wheel and the front of the frame,i have lots of work to do,but i have a clear idea of how it will look,the st st fuel tanks will be one either side of the top tube hugging the motor,and a Weber 45 will be hung on a manifold made out of stainless just above the Norton clutch,the inlet /blower manifolding will curve up into the standard nsu inlet manifold,blower drive will be either belt or possibly stainless chain.The wheels are getting rebuilt with stainless rims and spokes.The girder forks are very short stainless (23" long)
