Post by: C5 ENTHUSIAST + RESTORER on 17, March, 2013 - 21:22:04: Hi I have decided what the next one will be ..

It will be a complete restoration and build up but only using original parts ...The only thing that I will replace will be the Brake cables and the brake blocks .And the inner tubes + drive belt everything else will be original and some of the parts will be new old stock ..
