Hello all, here at last are some pics ... it's not pretty but in time it will be much more presentable.

here's how it looked a few hours after delivery... i had taken off the 906 fairings and needed to assess what needed what.



then after i had cleaned the bike as muchas i could without stripping threadsor rounding hex bolts... it looked a little more like this



I have treated as much rust as i can, the next step is a costly one... I have to send the bike to be looked at by a professional ducati restorer/mechanic as the bike has been stood since 1998... I don't want to risk anything going wrong when it's started. So it's going to get a full rebuild... bead blasted and repainted assessed for wear and tear... all that is going to cost about £700.

the mechanic in question is called Paul Klatkiewicz



here's a nice picture of the head stock :ugh:



I will keep updating as things progress

Other things... the bike was missing a few items.

• Ignition lock unit, seat lock and any keys
  airbox
  left foot peg
  fairings were from a 906

I've been lucky a few times... but it's slow work finding parts
i picked up a full set of metalic blue fairings for £100 with headlight and spare radiator.

If only mine had been in as good condition as the last guy

looking good, keep on posting pics!

maybe i'll get inspired to go on with my 750 Paso project...
