This isn't a build thread as such, just a place for the current build state of this beast to be placed and updated.

This started it's journey here:

I had already started down the road of this build here:
https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/what-have-i-created.431846/

Bear with me, I am getting there.
That led to this:

Then it was finally de-electrified, phew! I hear.
and it ended up here:

I'll post more pics and a build spec, why the heck not?
