Cento Resto
Posted: Wed Dec 21, 2016 9:35 pmAbout time I shared some pics.
1964 J Range 'Cento' I've been rebuilding over the last 4 years.
She came to me as this bare but rust-free frame :
Still wearing her Name as just a stain in the original paint:
A period of parts gathering, cleaning & Painting then followed, including this fire-breathing 98 cc monster, fully rebuilt with a NOS crank :
And rebuilding could commence in earnest :
The big step, fitting the rebuilt engine & gearbox, (note the later silent blocks required modified spindle cones), and prepping for a grand "firing-Up" :
She now runs, but has a few electrical issues which need sorting before attempting an MOT :
I'll add a few more when she has a proper seat cover and the finishing touches.
