Pretty cool, how you were able to see through that initial pile of junk and krylon amazes me.

I'm apparently a glutton for punishment. 

But she's running and I'm actually in the video working my magic

It was so ugly when you bought it that it was cool. Glad you got it running!

Got another v45, this one's a parts bike (no title). Also picked up a cb500 four as a package deal with the v45. May get a bonded title for it or end up selling it as is later. 

 

 

Running out of room these days.

Good work!  From the first picture I was thinking leave the tank as is, clean all the barbs off the frame and paint it black.  Find some decent handlebars and a saddle seat and go...

Wanted to see if the dirty 45 was any good.  

After pulling the mouse nest out (thankfully there was a rag stuffed into the carbs) this is where I was left.  

Now you know where its name comes from.  

 

Carbs were froze up. So I wanted to atleast pull them off and see if it turned over.

That's probably where it will sit for awhile. I'm going to try and focus on the Anglia,  once it's drivable I'll jump back on the bikes.  Hoping the guy comes up with the titles for these two, mostly so I can sell the CB for more money.

I never don’t see the potential in these threads. Except for this one. 

I was wrong though, the potential was there. It was just well hidden under the worst hack spray-bomb I’ve ever seen. 

Good work, waiting for more.
