Now that the Brown Bomb is complete it's time to get on with Ted, which was bought last year and has been languishing in the garage until today

As it arrived last year

Today the stripdown started

Errrrrrr

Grot

Bright idea

So bye bye engine

More Grot

That can go as well

Thats it for today

Plans are modest, keep it looking original in side and out

Tweaked 850 to help it keep up with traffic (around 50bhp)
Alternator conversion
7.5" Disc brakes to make sure it stops safely
