G'day Td  *welcome*
After all these years you've seen the light  *lol* And now with the restrictions you'll have time to get into it.
My A7 is also a 51 motor in a 53 frame. The 51 was a little bent so swapped to the 53. Unfortunately the 51 frame was destroyed in the fire  *pull hair out*
I see your in Vic, what region?
Cheers

Lovely bike to fix up. Have you decided how you want to do it? e.g daily rider, special, back to original? Good luck!

Want to keep the same shape stripped down grasstrack/speedway look too much missing for original resto. Keep the same tank (early c10 I think) dints and all definately wont be shiny.
