    Hi everyone. Here's my latest project, an 85 700 Interceptor that I paid $400 for.

    It had been sitting for 10 years. Since the owner never worked on it or tried to start it, it probably sat for several years before that. Because one of the carbs was broken, someone had bought a complete extra set. Unfortunately, they were for a Sabre, and I didn't want to use them.

    After taking the radiators off, the liquid that came out was not only water, but rusty. Hopefully, I'll not have a cracked cylinder.

    The rest of the dis-assembly went smoothly enough.

    The first coat of paint was for the fairing stay.

    Oh the mileage, pretty low. If I can get it back on the road, it should be worth it.
