Welcome back to the forum and greetings, great project, and post the restoration story as it evolves.

Good luck, makes me even more grateful (and slightly guilty) that someone else had done all the hard work when I got mine. Still, I've just bought a 55 Thunderbird in a similar state to yours, so I've got some "fun" to come!

i think its great bringing a bike back to life when its in that state to begin with

You simply *have* to get that camera working Anji as we would love to see the pics. Some of us are badly in need of some sunshine up this way (UK) It's always nice to see BSA's being restored in other parts of the world.

OK, here goes. Some photos of the restoration " work in progress ". Its been an interesting job, considering sourcing / manufacturing of parts.& the usual cursing & kicking involved in Brit Iron restorations!!!!!!!!

Anji,

If your's will not be the best looking A10 in all of India, I REALLY want to see the other.

So, is that a '37 Ford in the background of one photo?

Hi Richard

Thanks for your kind words. Were certainly trying to keep it as authentic as possible & no effort spared.!!
in the restoration. Its been a mammoth task considering what we started with, but loads of fun. ( which is why we all get involved in such acts of insanity ).
Yes that is a 1937 Ford. Belongs to a friend of mine. I too own a 1919 T Ford but minus the wooden artillery wheels as these were eaten away by white ants when I got her in 1969. She runs on 1927 ( ? ) spoke wheels till I can lay my hands on the genuine stuff.Attaching a photo at a rally in 1972. Iam the guy with the beard with my wife & daughters
Will post some more photos of the Flash later today after mounting the engine in the frame
By the way, did you get my mail with our tour details sent quite some time back ?
Take care
Anji
