PROJECTS
Greetings to all the new and returning visitors -
I have completed my 1970 Datsun 240Z ( Below ) and
I am restoring a series of early 70s Aermacchi mini cycles from HD below the Z car / feel free to scroll through and see whats happening !
I will make it a point to insert the newest images first so you dont have to scroll through some you may have already seen - Remember though if you want to see where I started you will need to scroll through to the end which is really the start !
Cheers Tony
1970 Datsun 240Z / Series 1
Hello again to al the new and returning visitors - glad to have you stop by for a visit !
As I mentioned on the Homepage I am officially done with my 1970 Datsun 240 Z Series 1 project and you can see the Final pics to your left .
​
These are technically the first cars built from about October 1969 through 1970 and are Super desirable . I have gone through this one from top to bottom and it runs beautifully !
​
This is the end for this machine - hope you enjoy
You can scroll down through to the next section
and scope out the H D Aermacchi machines I am and will be doing !
​​
Thanks for stopping by - Cheers !
1973 - 1975 Aermacchi / Harley Davidsons
So this little 1973 X90 has been a real learning curve as compared to the previous build which was the 1974 Z90 and you can see that as you scroll through the images in this section .
​
The fundamental difference is that the Z90 utilizes a complete 12 volt system including a dedicated charging circuit with a battery of course where as the X90 use a 6 volt Magneto system and no battery.
​
As you can see in the images the bike is just about ready for the engine and fire up . Unfortunately the person who built the engines for my client made several mistakes including the upper end buildout and the wrong Mag hub so needless to say I have had to do a lot of corrections to get it sorted .
​
It is what it is and like the man told me it aint what it aint ! I have to make it right and that is what I am doing . I will have some more pics as I get the little X running and ready to hit the road / you will be along for the ride ! cheers Tony
