Well if you do get rid of it I could always come pick it up. :D
Anyways here's a pict of my roadster when I first got it.

I got the brakes and the clutch cylinders working this week. I'm going to hook up the gas lines this week and see how she runs. I figure I'll probably have to go through the carbs but this will give me somewhere to start from. The spot behind that rear wheel is the worst rust on it. There are some dings on her and the rear panel is dented but I think she's beautiful!

I hooked up the fuel line from the pump to a small container today and started her up. :smt003 She fired right up but is racing to beat hell! Looks like tomorrow I take the carbs apart. She does sound good but I cut her off right away. Looks like it time to learn SUs. I just might have her on the road this summer. :D

Took the carbs apart yesterday and found a bug nest in the bell. I got them all cleaned up and will be putting them back on today. Found some real good videos on them on youtube. This guy makes it look easy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GRAcqDy ... re=related

Well I've been gone for awhile thought I'd show you what the little Roadster looking like now after being painted Viper yellow.
