here we go this my z1000a1 project/rebuild, the good points are its a zed the bad points are almost everything, it doesent seem to have had an easy life, the plan is to give it lots of tlc & to bring it back to something half tidy, it's not gona be a show winner just a tidy bike for a bit of fun in the sun, the plan is to keep it fairly standard, here's some pics of the old girl as she arrived mm

bike now stripped, the frame had been repainted but the prep was poor so it will get the powder coat treatmet
frame back from paint strip/chemical clean
having bought the bike not running i was informed the engine was in good working order and the plan was if it runs ok leave it, but i thought i would do a dry build at an early stage to check it out
things did,nt go to well it would only run on 2 or three cylinders and sounded like an old bag of spanners , i could now sense a strip was on the cards took off the side casing to find this little suprise

Oh arse , swear a lot now Alan then crack on with it your thou er has potential ,
once you see some shiny and painted bits they will spur you on with the rebuild
boll***ks this dont look good
all three allen keys were loose hence the marks on fly wheel
great the crank is fooked,the rotar fooked & one bit of the starter clutch is missing
a full strip is the next job
the barrels now off & not in bad conditin with std size pistons
cases now split to reveal another suprise
great now the cases are cracked

feck welcome to the classic world of zeds great another job to add to the list, how do i move forward with this problem i know a man who said he could sort all my problems if i crossed his palm with silver
i think the chain needs a little oil
frame for sale just needs a touch up
