My First Bike Project! VFR400 NC30

Post by Scotch Skeleton » Wed Oct 27, 2010 1:35 pm

As bought off eBay and brought home today:

As you can see it has some fairings missing, however the previous owner threw in two boxes of spare fairings which he could not be arsed to stick on eBay :smile: . I am hoping and :pray: that it includes the necessary fairings I need.

Seems to be an honest enough bike and pretty standard all round. Won't be long before it gets fettled :whistle:.

Looks like a nice little project.

A winter service and perhaps a respray with full panels and it'll be a good little example.

Nice lancia too :-)

I saw this on eBay too! Matts right weird colour on the tank. Won't take much to make it look spot on!

Are you going for the original colour scheme or something different?

Nice Delta !! Intergrale 8valve possibly??

Cheers for the encouragement lads :up:.

For the eagle eyed among us :grin: the integrale is a 16v and yep we have an x1/9 too.

We also have an alfasud ti and a beta montecarlo, hands up who remember those :idea: (yes, we have to many cars :sshh: ).

Not particularly keen on the colour scheme at the moment and am thinking changing it to the "SEED" livery :drool:.

I literally "SEED"ed my P's when I saw this :grin:

No I wasn't Alex!! :whistle:

Hehe I almost hit the button for the photobucket album!!



My dad had a few Lancia's . A Beta Spyder and a HPE volumex!!
Alfasuds are lush, and always wanted a Montecarlo. I went to a garage last week and he had a few intergrales, beta's I commented on how nice they were, he took me inside to a separate lock-up and he had two Lancia's Stratos In there one fully restored one stripped!! :o
