£375
So far needs a battery, a pair of shocks and a carb rubber and a lockset building. Possibly some tyres, maybe, if I'm feeling like a pussy

£20 on the carb rubber, lockset probably a tenner, dunno about shocks, not sure oil in them will make much difference.

Haven't heard it run yet, hopefully today though

I've got a mate who owns the biggest XJ900 graveyard imaginable, if you need bits I can ask him if he can help, unless you've already ordered the rubber that is.
