This is maicostu's 83 Spider. It started off as a jigsaw puzzle. Everything turned up in a box & was either seized, rusted or buggered. One of the axle clamps had snapped off the fork leg & the other one had already been welded. Pigmy machined up the new axle clamps ( & a lot of other stuff ) for that factory look.  Excellent job !!
A bit of bead blasting here, water blasting there, powder coat this and zinc plate some of what was left and it slowly came together.
It only needs a pipe & muffler , a whole lotta fuel and then ...yahoo !!
