project xj

this winter the xj that cuz owns is coming apart for cleaning and a few modifications, the xj aint worth much so this is kind of a play thing to keep him busy on the dark winter nights.

as you can see all the plastics have been removed and he ain't afraid to cut bit's off!
any suggestions? should he keep it original or rat it?

original, IMO rat bike are $hite

needs to be completely stripped and cleaned. all those bad bits of rust need cleaning off, then give the frame and rear swinger a good coat of hammerite or equivilent. then get the autosol to the engine, carbs and rearsets. then bobs your uncle, much better looking. if you wnt to rat it, get the matt black or green on the case!

Agreed - keep it original - although if he sells it will it make enough money to cover the Autosol bill...

the clean up is coming

he only give about £300 for it.

Make it look as good as new or just elt it go the way of a curior machine. Not quite rat bike, but not exactly spanking either
