    Ducati 500 GTL 1975 Resto

    Started cleaning engine parts. Engine case turned out really nice. Needs new bearings and gaskets. Head needs some welding. Camshaft is still headache. But all in all looks good.

    YES. I think I need an other hobby. Maybe collecting stamps. But I bet that has other problems. Poisonous glue or you open a window and the wind reorganize them all. Well I'm not worried about the engine. I will solve it. It will take some time, but it will be running again. Maybe not this...

    Ducati 500 GTL 1975 Resto

    Well this sucks. Looked a bit closer on the camshaft. I need a new one. It's completely worn down due to lack of lubrication. And one piston is kaput. Rings are broken and ring land is broken. Guess am taking a break from this one and try to see if it's possible to get some more parts. Good...

    Thanks Crazy. I never seen one in sweden. I hope I will have the plesure to ride it sometime in the future. Today I removed the head and cylinder. I think this is going to be an expensive engine rebuild. At some point someone got the camshafts out of synk. I found a valve imprint in the left...

    Minor hickup on the wheels so you have to wait for an update on them. However I promise the end result is going to be good. Both carburetors are done. So todays job was to make a engine stand. Pretty pleased with the result. Next up will be to pull the engine apart. Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31...

    Ducati 500 GTL 1975 Resto

    A month ago when I went through the front calipers two parts was missing from the one of the repair kits. So new part was ordered. Yesterday I got a box filled with new parts. :) Also I changed my mind as I had cheated with the one caliper I did. The pistons was a bit pitted, not too much, but...

    Ducati 500 GTL 1975 Resto

    Yes. Alot of measuring. 18 hours to weld one up. But it was a nice project. One frame was made for a friend but he gave up with his car so I'm stuck with an extra frame. Maybe I will use it for a race car I'm collecting parts for. But first some personal things need to be solved. Sent from my...
