I do the welding with help from a mate. I'm a Joiner by trade.
Total cost I can imagine to be around £3,200, the powdercoating is mates rates etc. The major costs are the wheels, forks, tank and exhaust. Originally I set out to tidy it up - I'v gone way past that stage now. But it doesn't bother me, It won't be sold - plus It'll be like a brand new bike when complete.
Its points, yeah - I will be checking for wear. One of the plastic camchain guilds has f**ked up aswell so engines getting stripped to get checked.
