This isn't really a resto, more of an enhancement. My dad restored this bike about 5 years ago in England and decided he has too many bikes so he shipped it over here to Cali for me! Bike just showed up yesterday so now I have the dreaded DMV to deal with to get the title and registration sorted. I called the DMV today, the hold time on the phone was projected at 2hrs... forget that.
Anyway mostly my plan is just to ride the bike but I really will have to address the totally useless front brake first. I rode the bike a few times back in the UK and the brake is horrendous. I will be taking pointers from Swans thread about how to improve the front brake.
Anyway here are a couple of pics just after I got it out of the crate yesterday:
