Can you guys (and gals?) give me a little of your vast experience? I'm pretty good with mechanical stuff and I recently wrapped up a project I was working on that took me the better part of 3 years. Now that I'm done with that, I'm looking for a new hole to throw money into.

I saw this and wanted to ask some of you classic owners if you thought it might be worthwhile. What do y'all think?

Is the price reasonable or do you think he might be asking too much? :???:

Mismatched parts are never worth the headaches unless you have unlimited time and money.

I wouldn't offer more than $500 for that project.

Probably good advice. I'm not sure if I'm actually going to go for it. I'll let you guys know...

Looks like you have 3 Triumphs, two of which are classics. I think I'll take your word for it... :upthumb:
