Just read this from the top - great thread and great project - watching ( with interest :))


There's certainly some interesting err "welding" for lack of a better description gone on their.

Have you heard of cold metal stitching ?? - well, I think that might be "luke warm" metal stitching o_O- its probably got just about enough strength, but it looks appalling... and to think the Japs used to get criticised for their "pigeon dropping" welding on bike frames in the 70's:rolleyes:

used to be a biker myself - a full power V Max - love the thing. My health is too bad now,:( unfortunately, but still love bikes:)
 
looking good - but you appear to have "forgotten" a bit :D - now, granted, my eyesight has its issues, but where is the rear cross member :confused: ?
 
hahaha well spotted there is also an outrigger to replace .we had some issus with a leaky roof on workshop an the chassis was starting to rust so we decided to put a coat of paint on.the rear bumper will be fitted when we line the rear tub up .the rear end has been rebuilt completly all rot cut out .
