Some pics of my '83 ATC 250R, currently about half way through the resto.
This is the one that I need the chain slider for so I can have them reproduced.

Plus some of us at Stockton Sand Dunes In Newcastle, Australia.

I thought my old roomates 84R looked pretty good with the 3rd gen frontend too. To bad he didn't have a headlight for it though.

Tested at the Stockton Dunes today, a few minor problems like a sticky needle and seat but overall not too bad.

The Frame was tidied up and rewelded in some areas with the addition of extra stoppers in the headstock so as to reduce turning area and save the repainted Tank.
The frame was then powder coated, flame red and then I painted the tank myself with a color I matched by going through all the paint chips at my paint supply shop the code was B6073 and done in 2 pack.
