 nice and clean

Make sure you properly wait for the image to embed itself before hitting submit.

Remember you'll be accessing a narrow bandwidth...

Keeps coming up entity too big mate, how are people uploading pics now?

[Calum]

@andrewj1680 You can upload images to Imgur directly bud. Create an account.

I can't possibly increase the upload as it would cripple my home network.

@andrewj1680 Looking good thus far dude, just click upload cloud button, to upload pics direct to the thread/forum.

Can I have your engine!

[andrewj1680]

Sadly not no, I've put abit much into that 1 tbh more than I like to imagine I wouldn't like to sit and think about what I've spent

[oldman]

I know that feeling, have kept all receipts for the 88 but have no intention of totting them up, hidden in my man cave away from prýing eyes.

@oldman I’d love to know how much a restoration costs though

[andrewj1680]

@declan you can't put a price to it as everyone is different and if you thought about cost before hand it would never get done. It's a matter of jumping in head first worry about the cost later

[andrewj1680]

@oldman do you have a number for the place you got your original graphics? I have copies but would rather original if I can

[declan]

@andrewj1680 sorry Andrew but that’s terrible advice lol

[andrewj1680]

@declan sorry declan it's true there are a few different builds on this forum ask each 1 of them if they thought about cost first

[Calum]

@declan It costs as little or as much as you would like.

It's more to it than that, often people who restore vehicles know the odd person in the trade, and often use that to trade against. I.E. it can be cheap in terms of cash, but might owe you in other ways.

Further to the fact so people are after that OEM+++ or perhaps modified, or simply restored to a good condition.

It would be difficult to say which of the two (oem or modified) costs more. But restoring vehicles doesn't have to be expensive.

[oldman]

How do you measure the time it takes to restore? Everybody is different and finish to a greater or lesser degree, and not just the hours working either. Spent just as long finding the right parts and searching fruitlessly for the parts you simply cannot get. Commercially not viable to restore but enthusiast owners save their bikes for more than just any perceived financial gain. Personally never paid anything for my bike originally bar a days labour and parts changing radiators on a central heating system, but for me has been worth every penny spent restoring
