Howdy.

You're in the right place to find out all you want to know about LC's.

keep nosing about and ask questions all the time.

Nobody here bites.

Were all in LC heaven.

You want to do a 350 Lc project.

Nice.

Always ask someone on here buiying advice before buying something of ebay or private as there's a lot of crap out there.

I've never recieved bad advice from any member.

Post an ad in the wanted section for what you are looking

Most of all. Have fun and don't turn down overtime as you'll need every penny to feed your Lc habit once hooked.

Welcome ;D

Hi Andy
Think it's going to be an expensive way of doing it buying it all in sepeate parts just think of all the ebay P&P costs alone.
If it was me I would buy one and refurb it how you want it, I started my latest project with just a frame & engine but it's a hybrid

Good luck & enjoy ;D

welcome to the nutters house andy.i thnk u will find the chaps on here a lot differernt to other forums .there very positive and helpfull lot.if ur into ur lc's this is the place to b m8!right dats enuf bout me then ;D.
deffo buy a complete bike and build it from there. a lot of chaps buy frames and engines but you see them in the for sale section after realising its just too much of a mountain to climb.
im still at mine 2 years down the road !and do it thw way u wanna do it .i ended up back tracking with my 4lo and doing mods ect dat i shd have done at start
good look and dont be afraid to ask the silliest of questions!!
