Here is my latest 86-87 T-3 project in the works. :crazy: I'm sure I"ll have more into it than its worth, but I love em.It wont be done for a few months yet, but I'm in no hurry. My goal is to make this a show bike. I may take it a few trips to the dunes though, we'll see.I still have to get some more things chromed, and I still have a ton of polishing to do to the clutch cover and Cyl. I will try to keep you posted on the progress.

The pics dont do it justice. How do some of you guys make the pic take up most of the screen? I had to resize these twice just to post em here.

Nice lookin project. BTW if your at 20kb for some of those pics you resized toooooo far :lol: the max is 200kb. if you have a huge kb pic resize it like 98% by 98% and it usually cuts the kb in half. Sound like jibberish?

Hornet I am also restoring a 86 Tecate. You need to help me out with a headlight shroud and those radiator shrouds that you sell. I will be more then willing to buy them for what you start them on ebay for. Please from one Tecate guy to another. You wouldn't want to see one of these beautiful machines void of your excellent repo parts now would you? And if it sounds like I am begging or kissing ass then you sir are correct. LOL

NICE! You're doing a fantastic job.

I want to get one REAL bad. :drool:
They look flat awesome.
But then I see the price they and their parts are getting.
OUCH! Reality sets in REAL fast. :(

I only made it up there once last year. Summer time is very busy for me, I have alot more time off in the winter. I am going to try and have it finished in time for the AZ sand expo this year, but that was my plan last year too and I didnt have it done in time.
Thanks guys for the compliments.
