Default Re: Newbie Restoring a G1

Alright. More progress

Here is the frame. I do plan on removing the front end later.



And the Swingarm. (Is it called a swingarm??)



My plan is to start on the rearend. Got me a new sandblaster from harbor freight so I guess the grinding and sanding will begin. Unfortunately I have to work all weekend so my progress will be slowed a bit.

As far as the engine goes, it is stamped J17. I'll post some more pics of it later on.

Things I've learned so far.....
  1. Between my toys and my kids toys I need a bigger garage
  2. My wife doesn't care for an angle grinder running at 1 in the morning
  3. WD-40 is great stuff
