My previous hobby car was a 71 mini but i prefer the no rust body approach
I am sure some assistance will be required during the overhaul of this little beauty.
Cheers for now.

Hi John, good to have you, as you live locally I should be able to give you a hand should you need it!

I guess you are talking about the very nice blue one he has, absolutely stunning paint job on it, very jealous!

Welcome sir! Was it north or south Ireland? Had problems registering my Latham as it was still Triumph on the log book.

Out of interest, what's the Kwack you're restoring?

I'm looking forward to seeing this car, hopefully in the next update.

Hi Moneypit,

This car came from northern ireland but didn't have a v5c as it had not been on the road since 96
But luckily i was given an original v5 from ireland so was able to use this to obtain a uk v5c
The kwak im building is a H2 750 but with a 4 cylinder engine (modified triple) so H2 1000

Cheers John

Standard H2 frame?

Slightly modified with extended swinging arm

Ooo! Was that the one nicknamed the Widow Maker? I've never ridden one but heard they were rapid and kind of scarey!
Pleased you've got your registration ok. It's alot easier now I believe with vehicles from Northern Ireland. Seven years ago though, when I got my Latham from there, Dvla and DvlNI were operating ( to a certain amount) seperately.

Yes they were called the widow maker and yes they didn't go round corners.

The DVLA and NI still don't work together even have separate computer systems that will
Not talk to each other.
