Guys, thought would share this with you. This is the bike I have on its way from over the pond. The ever helpful Mr Costa has already been giving me tips on things to look for etc. Its a Japanese made '85 and was bought by the owner for his son in '85.

Reckon it will take about a year to arrive, but hopefully with all the Forum help on shipping I will not get shafted by HMRC!  :2gunsfiring_v1:

First job on arrival will be stripping........will be looking through the Forum for tips on dying the rims (apparently Steve says 6 spokes are a win!) and rust removal before sending off to the legend that is SBD.

Watch this space, and any help is appreciated!

These are the photo's the guy sent me whilst he was taking it to pieces......

Fcuk restoring it, that's a real survivor, leave it as it is or it will just end up another costa build

Don't think there are many originals left, think costas painted em all

Orange777:
 Haha.........

Is there a 'survivor' section on here where people don't touch them at all?
