thou shed grime to shine
here we go this my z1000a1 project/rebuild, the good points are its a zed the bad points are almost everything, it doesent seem to have had an easy life, the plan is to give it lots of tlc & to bring it back to something half tidy, it's not gona be a show winner just a tidy bike for a bit of fun in the sun, the plan is to keep it fairly standard, here's some pics of the old girl as she arrived mm

thou shed strip
bike now stripped, the frame had been repainted but the prep was poor so it will get the powder coat treatmet
frame back from paint strip/chemical clean
having bought the bike not running i was informed the engine was in good working order and the plan was if it runs ok leave it, but i thought i would do a dry build at an early stage to check it out
things did,nt go to well it would only run on 2 or three cylinders and sounded like an old bag of spanners , i could now sense a strip was on the cards took off the side casing to find this little suprise

i think the chain needs a little oil
frame for sale just needs a touch up
