Money pit??

Hi Guys,
Finally finished her kitchen a couple of days early, so I snuck out to the garage and started the strip down.Thought I'd spend a couple of hours but ended up out there all day.

The bike need a full rebuild as it was stored for many years in a damp barn and is in need of some serious sorting.

The frame is to be blasted and resprayed next week all being well. The main problem I have, as you can see from the engine pic is the ally corrosion has taken the paint of much of the engine.I dont particularly want to strip the engine at the moment as I want to ride the bike this year. I may do a full engine strip next winter and properly sort it then, but I'm open to any ideas as a temporary measure.

I'll try and post more pisc as it progresses.

Andy
