80's GP 200 custom GoodThing 80's *copper *

[lozmondo]

Just sourced a Ralph Saxelby 205 top end with Amal carb jetted to suit for the motor

I was desperate to track down one of these … that’s a lovely find

Trip over to Brighouse for some bits copper plating





Stripping paint off wheel rims ready for polishing

Lot of years ago since I had any copper plating done. Wenlocks in Hull. Make sure it's laquered or you will be polishing it every day

That's where the Scunny boys used to go
Will be getting laquered with some good quality wheel refurb laquer

Dunno, just a thought... Will the chroming of the engine block mount fitting silent block surfaces not be a fitment issue...?

The mounts came chrome, then taken for chrome stripping and re-polishing before copper.
If that's the case the grinder will come out

The ups and downs and lack of progress on my builds is ridiculous.
I'm sure people are fed up of nothing getting completed ffs!

So I'm digging the GP back out for a mid to late 70s build rattle can special.





The build needs a headset and a mudguard
