Here are some 'before' photos. Hopefully in the not to distant future there will be some 'afters'. My old man wanted a bike project so i dropped this down to him the other day. He was over the moon! Btw she's still on standard bore....how good is that! While I'm here, does anybody have a colour code for the yellow that these were also painted? Also are there any mods i should do before it gets a make over e.g frame mods etc? It's going to be a racer. Cheers,Brad

Wow, its been nearly 12 months since i bought this thing.Finally its her time. Dad had painted the frame and done alot of pollishing. I had the fork tubes done and just recently put a fair slab of hard earned into her. Just a few more parts im waiting on so as to complete it.
A special thanks goes out to Les from Mainly Maico, as he has gone the extra mile for me on this project.
I think he knows my credit card details by heart by now  .

very nice Brad!
pre-70 bikes are on the increase around brisbane too. it's a great class.

Nice Brad. Good to see the old man hasn't gone for the conical front hub and has kept the full width front brake. I was never that brave! The yellow changed from model to model but if you can find a VW colour chart, the colours for each year matched.

[Rosco400]
