well work permitting i have set about the strip down of the GT one set back after the other, TBH i had no idea how much the bike was in bad shape!!

i now have to totally strip down to the last nut & bolt..

it's clear to me now that it's not just a matter of stripping and cleaning..

have found that most parts are in need of replacing and at best repairing!!

I've put some photos up to show you if you are interested..

all i can say if you intend to restore a old clasick it's going to cost you time and money... i do like a challenge
