UNLIMITED LTD - The Pigford Project

So, having sold me bestest Z1000A2, and having finished me Harris, it's time to start a winter project. With a wodge of cash in me pocket from the A2 sale I ventured onto eBay, and within minutes found a likely bike....... a 1980 Z1000 LTD (B3/4?).
Here it is safely back in my garage:
She runs but the clutch is seized at present. The seat & exhaust will be going, as with the hi-bars & paint set. A better Z1000 front end & a JMC alloy s/arm will be stuffed in along with some decent wire spoked wheels (18" + 19").
The plan is to fit some of my "stash of Zed parts" and turn it into a proper Zed

Got that covered Keith.... doing the garden up - even a new shed (no, not that sort
).
She did notice me wheeling in a spare engine though

I dropped a set of Zed Thou wires off at Stafford with your A2 buyer, which I believe are now for sale...

Looking forward to seeing what you make of this Mark.
I've been hoping to do another LTD conversion myself, very under-rated models and easily converted to look like a proper zed.

Cleaned up the rear wheel today.......
.... the rim is a Takasago with code: 8F 303 (or maybe 3F 303) .... what's that mean ?
