I hate to see any CB's destroyed. The Mk1s have really increased in value
over the last few years, I would have a hard time letting something like
that go. It does need a lot of work and much money but Think of what you
would have when done. I think Max is correct in that you should do the
structural work first, it is the most expensive but also the one to just
get worse and more expensive as you go. The engine can be dealt with next
but I really hope you decide to make a decision of the heart and go ahead
and save this one. Ours was in similar shape, when I went to look at it I
mentally threw the Porter's over my shoulder and fell in love with it and
it has been one of the best decisions my wife and I have made. Metal dash,
wire wheels. OD and that great old british car smell. If you choose to not
save it at least post it around to the list as someone may be interested in
giving a second (or third or fourth)chance at life.
