My 250lc rebuild, bloody jeff

[Norbo]

Well it started so well .
Jazzy would come around and we would get the engine out whip the barrels & head of spray them fit to my new lump and refit for its MOT at the weekend.


Well after taking the lump out is was filthy underneath dirt, oil and grime. The loom was a little cut up and covered in oil as well. Still good but filthy.



So I ended up going from a real nice bike to this

Then to this

And finely to this


All the cut up plastics will have to be cleaned or replaced if they are to bad.


This is the rest of the bike, a box of bits !!! Bloody hell what have I started ?


So It looks like I have a full strip down and rebuild on my hands now . Like I have the Bloody time for this crap. Bloody jazzy Bloody jazzy Bloody jazzy and his "mate its ditched underneath lets just strip it and get the frame done you now you want to"

So with in 3 Hours the deed was done.

Well as it happens I have always said it needed the frame doing to be relay nice . so I guess it didn’t take that much to talk me in to it. So after welding a bracket back on the frame I will be posting it of for powder coating and I will get on with polishing up all the alloy and cleaning down all the crap.
I will keep you all posted with updates as things get done .

[Norbo]

well im not hanging about . all the bits for chroming will be posted of monday. the frame is al ready wraped and will all so be posted monday. the carbs will be striped and posted to doy monday for a vapor blast manday. Then on to the forks. i have something special in mined so keep an eye open for the forks they will look real nice and no other LC in the worled will have forks on like these ones.

With any luck the rebuild will start in 2 weeks after the frame gets back by then i should have the all oy polished the forks finished and the chrome back.

This will not be a slow build i dont habg about i hope to have the holl thing together my the end of next month or Aug at the latest .

you know norbo if he had a 32 hour day he would still need more...

i did all the hard work for him lol


last i saw he had the frame back but was waiting on something extra special to be done to a few bits n bobs before he started the rebuild.

iy jazz forgot about this one, cant wait to see what you and norbo have got in mind for it

[gazilla]

[Norbo]
