Cento Resto

Postby 57Speedster » Wed Dec 21, 2016 9:35 pm

About time I shared some pics.
1964 J Range 'Cento' I've been rebuilding over the last 4 years.

She came to me as this bare but rust-free frame :
Image

Still wearing her Name as just a stain in the original paint:
Image

A period of parts gathering, cleaning & Painting then followed, including this fire-breathing 98 cc monster, fully rebuilt with a NOS crank :
Image

And rebuilding could commence in earnest :
Image

The big step, fitting the rebuilt engine & gearbox, (note the later silent blocks required modified spindle cones), and prepping for a grand "firing-Up" :
Image

She now runs, but has a few electrical issues which need sorting before attempting an MOT :
Image

I'll add a few more when she has a proper seat cover and the finishing touches.
