Re: RD350LC restoration.

Time for an update.. uploading photos here is a pain these days compared to other sites / FB etc!!
Things are progressing nicely, hopefully a couple more weeks will see it pretty much complete!

Re: strange thing going on.

Those gremlins are a pain in the arse to diagnose... especially broken wires.
My friend usually runs a temporary auxiliary wire to what item he suspects as a quick check for broken wires.
Good luck!

Re: RD350LC restoration.

Been busy recently, sadly not so much on the LC.. Anyway, I finished both sets of bodywork, re-assembled the calipers and master cylinder, painted the wheels and did a few other pits and bobs!
A few pics..
