'47 & '49 A7 restorations
« on: 02.04. 2011 05:49 »
well, seeing as I am doind them, figured I should put some pics up as I go along... Started most of the dirty wotrk about 2 months ago (whilst finishing the 53 Super Flash), And am now up to the nicer part of the restoration of putting all the nice stuff back together. Will take me a little longer to complete these two, as I have now have started a new job, but still hope to get some time in of a night and weekends to tinker away at them..

There is more pics, and I will update as I go along from now on, but for the earlier pics Check out this album 47 & 49 A7 Resto Album
Cheers, Brett

Trev, If your reffering to the Red '47, that is the way it was... EVERYTHING Red! Will be a pretty bright looking bike ;) The Super Flash I just finished was also that color Green from factory, as was the blue one.
Does make a nice change doing the colorful ones instead of having a shed full of Black and Silver bikes :)
