In parallel with my 1952 D1 I am also rebuilding a 1960 Royal Enfield 150cc Prince.
As you can see it has seen better days and will be a true challenge

Drop of fresh petrol and a clean plug and off you go, James! 🙂
Actually doesn't look SO horrible. Will be lovely when done

Well the frame is now painted and going back together.
The engine is completely stripped and I am now welding and machining two holes in the main case where somebody tried to remove the flywheel with a pair of tyre levers - there are some bodgers about.

Well, just to say things have moved on, frame blasted, painted and re-assembled. Engine stripped, case welded and all parts aqua blasted and polished.

Well a few coats of paint added after a little bit of rubbing down. Now just the clear-coat, new badges and shiny cap and tap to add.

Great work, James. The tank being done is always a big step forward and you'll be beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel....
