Resurrected from hanging in a shed until it ended up at the tip - love it, congratulations, inspirational.

Taking on a Titanium basket case would have put me off but I’d be less nervous now after reading this.

Thanks Swede, my first time on a Ti restoration, same as steel only more filing (much more) ..... I got lucky with the Paragon inserts which were a perfect fit, saving the hunt for tubes and then machining....obviously couldn't have done it without the expert welding from Gavin.... and the blasting was messy but really satisfying. Bonus is no painting!!! Go on, take the plunge!

 

[Swede]

Ha! Not at the moment. I’ve just taken on a project that’s 10,000 miles away - got to figure out how to get it home now!

 

[staffy]

Yes I saw your mission, love the determination, will be following closely! Good luck.
