well i thought i might as well put it on as a project,so you can see what is done to get one built.as i cant find one anywere i will build one.any help would be welcome,please be patient ,as i dont have access to lathes and stand drills,or other machines.i will be using hand grinders and hand files,so it could be a bit long in the making.just to give you an idea of what im planning,im going to cut the peices out were they need cutting,then have it all blasted clean,then built up into one peice.below is a list of things i may need,if you have anything on the list you dont need any more,feel free to donate.
old gaskets,just saves on a new set.
gearbox,rusty ones would be ok.
bank of carbs,any that are no good for owt else.dont need to be complete.
points cover,one thats cracked,or been down the road.
cylinder head,one thats beyond repair,or use.
sprocket casing,cracked,broke,been down road.
thats about it,i have everything else,i think.

What an excellent way to make use of all those engine parts which would be thrown away.
This is art in the making.
You've got a bit of work to do there but it will look fantastic. The sky's the limit as far as displaying it is concerned.
Lighting, motorised turntable etc



I WANT ONE
