Thanks guys...it was cool to walk into the barn and find that leaning against the wall...my heart rate went up...its the first complete find for me and my first old triumph restoration. I plan on taking it all the way down and bring it back to better then new...I know its going to cost but I really want to do it...I will save by doing it all myself, its just the time and parts that will be hard to swallow...
DOG thanks for the insight on the motor teardown...one thing I will be doing is converting it over to a 12volt system. That should save alittle money and aggravation with finding parts...
Most of everything is there...just some cosmetic pieces that are missing like the chrome tank rack and the chrome strip down the center of the tank...Have the tank badges and the knee pads...
I was told that it was running last year(hard to believe). There has been some butcher work on the electrical system, it will Need to have a completly new wiring harness. The cover for the points is off and have not found that yet...
Thanks BOB sure I will be PMing you about the parts...all the chrome is bad, don't think polish and buffing will get me far...I am going to send the exhaust and other chrome pieces out to be redone...the frame I will powder coat black again...the sheet metal I am thinking I will go with the blue, the purple that supposed to be my other choice for original does not do it for me...so I will do the blue...
Thanks for all the excitement and help
