Hi Gang I might as well start the thread now ๐คฃ as I canโt keep my hands off it After nearly dropping the bike out the back of van due to being alone and the bike having no rear end ๐I fitted a donor for now I managed to save it but tore a muscle in the back of my leg ๐ฅน ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53684276655_d0de8df67b_k.jpg) The plan was to build it as is and get it registered but as of yet Dillon hasnโt found the nova ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53684189994_f6a7d9e2d0_k.jpg) So the new plan is to build it straight onto the Uk matching numbers donor ๐ ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53684190014_5ab2b41745_k.jpg) Itโs in such good original condition it would be a crime to restore it all ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53682954692_ca7203405c_k.jpg) Only the essentials will be done,i,e paintwork,brakes,forks etc ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53683819986_7fb5c312bb_k.jpg) Plenty of new parts came with it including a complete engine set of seals ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53682954627_be632403c7_k.jpg) Amazing I degreased the Uk frame and itโs virtually perfect so Iโll leave it as is ๐ ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53682954667_3d58850146_k.jpg) The donor cases have already been vapour blasted painted and lacquered,even the switches are too good to touch ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53684276600_fbd3dd0e78_k.jpg) For sub ยฃ4K Iโm a happy bunny,albeit in pain ๐ฅน Matt ๐ป๐ถ๐ถ

Following this with interest. My N1 has a few non-std bits on it, so useful to see your pics as a reference.

Bit more done ๐ So I didnโt make the old rookie mistake,I replaced the air filter and popped the air box into the frame ๐ ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53700587779_f791ff8a44_b.jpg) Treated the bike to a new lift handle ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53700247806_64a45959bf_b.jpg) Got the engine out and on the bench ready for rebuilding ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53700686980_122a80732d_b.jpg) Popped an mph speedo into the cluster ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53699355592_e041e9f3d9_b.jpg) Removed all the rest of the parts from the German frame ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53699355597_cca31011b7_b.jpg) Need to clean up again now ๐ซฃ Matt ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ
