Title: WOW - N.O.S - Difficult Question - To Build or Not To Build ?????
Post by: diesel on June 27, 2006, 03:56 PM
BIG Question - I don't usually give it a second thought - 'Build it & Ride it!' is the standard choice for me:

Yup carefully put it back in the box and put it up in the loft and forget about it for a few years. Nice score  :daumenhoch:

Definately build it with all NOS parts, put it in a room, look at it, but never ride it!

No point having it, unless you're gonna appreciate it!

Lol , its something to ponder for sure mate

i would normally be with you and build her up to nos spec , BUT i have started to look at this long term ( its taken 4 years lol ) i like the idea of cabinet cos i know you would do a blinder and the fact that there are not many like it makes it special

i have always been in the build it up and at least have a little go round the track camp

but am understanding the keep it original brigade a little better lately

Rich :)

Put it back in the box & don't build it.

It is far to rare to build..

Post by: Bren Gunn on June 27, 2006, 08:36 PM
Put it in a display cabinet, along with the box (the box would pull good money on it's own), and add a couple of other Redline bits for extra eye candy...  Black Brute...  Redline post...  STR bars...   Flights...

Or you could just build it to ride and use the box to light the barbie...

Title: Re: WOW - N.O.S - Difficult Question - To Build or Not To Build ?????
Post by: stuntmaster on June 29, 2006, 08:06 AM
most probably because in the far east they don`t think it worth bugger all ,i just come back from the far east and seeing on my travels was a pk ripper looptail used by a bum with shopping bit s on it to get about ,now in uk that would be restored . different culture i`m afraid .

nice score dan
