This is not a restoration. Was a great looking frame to start with in my view. There really isn't' much point in knowing what it was now though Im afraid.

I did struggle with the seatpost, because i wanted a black seatpost i was limited by the size options in the end got it all fitted using a shim. The idea for this bike is simply to be used as a pub bike not after 100% perfection, what to use this build as a learning curve before attempting something more challenging.

Re:
If you hadn't bought it, someone else would have had the opportunity to 'restore' it, and it would have been one more piece of history returned to the road instead of being lost forever - restoration is a once only thing.
Only my opinion, and I know i am being a bit harsh, but practice on something that is beyond preserving next time

Wow way to u know what on people's bonfires.
we don't live in a perfect world where everything it's made perfect again so get over it.
Resto and restomod is better than no resto which ever side of the resto fence you sit on. I love them both , I've owned classic volkswagen and been to many shows where you see both , I do think restoration is important and great to see but find restomod just as great to see and a little more exciting.
