Colinj's Z1A1 rebuild

Thanks for the fantastic welcome and offers of help, I am definately going to need some, if I can get this to load pictures (I'm no I.T. geek!) then you will see what I mean. This is my bike, in bits, I bought it in 1978 from a mate and then started to customise it a bit, then ran out of money, then had some money but no time, then joined up and spent 9 years all over the place, then got married, divorced, then married (yes, I know......) and have settled nicely into my own personal mid-life crisis (as far as my wife is concerned).
Anyhow, let's at least see Pandora's box shall we?

Hope that worked but if anyone has a better way of doing this so the images show let me know!

So this is what I found in the 1st box, some of it is encouraging and some less so, seems this is going to take me a hell of a lot longer than I anticipated and probably cost more than I wanted, but....Hey-ho, Guys are you really wanting all these photos? I will have to keep them small to fit em in!
