I'm going to start restoring it and give it back to his dad who will hopefully bring it to the track. Its the first time I'll of ever done anything like this and my funds are mostly zero so I will be doing everything by myself to keep the costs down. My friend always had his stuff immaculate and I hope I do him proud I want to achieve the same standard as your bike here. I hope I achieve it. 🙏
