eBay is the scourge of my life!!<\/p>\n

Came across a z1R that turned out to be a real nail on ebay.<\/p>\n

Completely stripped it down and had the frame blasted to see what a state it was in…not good…. Needed some welding doing…. But this is a project for later in the year.<\/p>\n

\"DSCF4445\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"DSCF4443\"<\/a> \"DSCF4441\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have a shed load of boxes that i need to sort, clean, repair, paint, etc. Should keep me busy for a while.<\/p>\n

The strip down pictures….<\/p>\n

Sorted and ready for the chromers….<\/p>\n

Started on the electrics and what a lot of fun they were!!<\/p>\n

Got most the smaller parts cleaned up, repaired and painted.<\/p>\n

This is after most of the work on the smaller parts.<\/p>\n

\"img_1757\"<\/a> \"img_1758\"<\/a> \"img_1759\"<\/a> \"img_1760\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Started on the handlebar switches, what a mess they were!<\/p>\n

Looking at the pictures above I think i have my work cut out to repair these.<\/p>\n

Time for some further cleaning and there is the main looms, which is in a right state.<\/p>\n
