Re: Geoff's 1VJ Tenere rebuild ...
Thanks Olli.....
Had a bit of help from forum members with this one....

Thanks to Mez for the seat, Olli for most of the S10 front end bits & the oil cooler, jibber (who didn't charge me anything, I owe you one mate
) for the right sidepanel & clock brackets
Also thanks to Itchywheels for the tip off for the brand new rear carrier which I got from Italy.... but not for the clutch cable
which I bought off him on eBay.... cheap copy, doesn't fit .....
Now, what's next........ I might do a 3AJ with a white frame..............

Thanks mate
Nobody spotted the deliberate mistake,
I forgot to have the lower part of the r/h sidepanel painted black to match the other side.......
It's done now though
