    You must have very large stones :):):):):):):):)

    The very best of luck with your project,

    Heh Heh! Thats not even a blank canvas, that looks like a canvas thats been left out side and the seagulls have used as a toilet! Except it wouldn't get a place in the Tate Modern. Good Luck

    I look forward to seeing how this comes on! And best of luck.

    Did the Ebay add say 'easy project'
    Or.. 'Can't see it needing much for MOT' :p:D

    And what's the project? Clean up and original or??

    Evening gentlepeople....
    Did the Motorcycle Live Saturday,which nearly corpsed me to be honest, and spent most of my time between the Norton and Triumph stands sitting on their Cafe Racers..........an amazing day. Really feeling it today though so it's rest up till treatment on Wednesday then flat out on the rebuild. I'll post some more pictures to the comic strip above so you all can see the progress and also run a few ideas pass those with their finger in the Font of Knowledge.......so bone up you eggheads they'll be coming at you thick and fast......
    Jennoe..........

    Morning folks..
    Just a quick question before I go and get pumped full of poison..........and apologies for going off track..........does anyone know if the Norton Dominated seat unit is available to buy......or a lookalike.......having sat on it on Saturday it looks and feels great...and gave me a few thoughts as to my build....
    Cheers fellas......hope you're all having a good day...... Jennoe

    Morning crispey..........have noticed that site and trawled through it......can't seem to find the actual seat unit anywhere online but I am a rank amateur at this. Considering fabbing my own..........cheers for the direction fella
