    Thought I'd fire up a project page for you all to point and laugh at.... :bleh:

    This is how she started off

    The picture just doesn't do justice to the custom seat mold, modified ( ahem) electrics and specially fitted (with a large hammer!) non stock swim arm.

    Still a few hours, half a dozen Stella and an ounce of Golden Virginia later she looked much better....

    now I'm just driving the other half mad with bits of engine all round the kitchen as I drag the old chrome and ally back into shape......

    I'll update when the engine is rebuilt, only issue I have with that at the moment is a broken valve guide :doh:
    anybody got a parts place they can recommend?

    I could try that and I suppose after my balls have been ripped off the seat would be more comfortable on a long ride....

    Nice GS.....

    Must admit that I'm now lusting after a Wes Cooley Rep to add to the collection.
