....and you can always restore it in the future
It's a '62 Spanish Li150. Already had a GT186 built into a GP125 carcass so that's going straight in. Other than that, it'll be largely standard with a twin tank conversion.
Hoped to have the forks in by now but managed to destroy a new lower bearing track yesterday

Hi, Col. Probably is the answer.
This engine did about 13 miles per litre previously whereas the TS1 does 10. Davos, via Harwich/Hoek, will be about 1800 miles for me. That's a lot of petrol and oil

It doesn't seem like a proper "project" somehow, Toddy. No engine rebuild and no rattle can spray overspray

That reminds me of all that was left of a car I parked in Liverpool after a human league concert in about 1980

Thought about doing similar with my GP, just engine, forks,wheels headset, tank and air box. would probably look shite but it will be on the road I guess and for cheap coin.
