So I’ve owned my storm for about 3 years now and was using it daily until about October last year, when I got a company van and then very nearly parted ways with it....... but my sensible head kicked in and woke me up and I’m happy to say she stayed. I’m currently in the process of collecting a few bits and pieces then she’ll be getting stripped and rebuilt hopefully in a better state then she is at the moment and in time for the summer, until then here’s a pic of her in her current state

Well done in starting a thread in this section Bennyboy.

I look forward to seeing your progress

Chris.

keep them coming benny... nothing like a bit of forum suffering while somebody losses hair and nails getting things to work

I like the little teaser shot of the six spokes wheel colour, very saucy!

Hahaha like you said that’s just a teaser for now I’m hoping the main parcel should arrive later next week

Looking forward to seeing the end result

No pictures to update with yet but more parts should be arriving this week hopefully if not by the end of next, one thing I haven’t done is the mcct, where’s the best place to get hold of these

Another piece of the puzzle arrived today, they need a little machining off of them, but it’s the only pair I’ve managed to find even close to fitting

That’s what I thought after probably about a month or so of looking, once there machined up and fitted hopefully they’ll look pretty smart with the radial calipers and brighter discs
