GT380M Restoration

Another update tonight. I have been working on building the back wheel so finally got it all built up and will put it on this weekend.

I also got the battery box, tool box and oil tank bolted on. Thankfully the oil tank cleaned up ok and fitted new looking glass lense and have a new cap to go on.

I hate having to put an oily chain on a lovely back wheel. That's a super job !

A we shot of the wheel fitted along with the torque arm. Starting to resemble a bike again!

Front wheel has now been built up ready to go on the forks when they come back from hard chroming. Phil did a great job on the disc and the caliper.

I collected some bits tonight that I had in storage including my tank and side panels so couldn’t resist trying on the side panel!

The tank was fully resprayed and new decals added. I added a new fuel cap and also managed to source new old stock pin type badges to finish it off.

Stunning work. I love the Stardust Silver version. 1970's personified

Thank you!

The forks arrived back and have to say a top job by Andy Morgan at Philpots. I am organising all the bits and pieces for the ears so hope to get them fitted this week all being well.

Had a good stab at the front end tonight and managed to get most of the major components fitted. Waiting on some decals to arrive and still waiting on a part for the electric panel. Next bit of work will be to clean the loom plugs.
