Default genuine or pro

I am restoring a 42 WLC It is now ready for paint .I was fortunate to be able to do it with all original parts This is very important because with motorcycles if you are stopped by a traffic police and the numbers don't match they can keep the bike till they can prove that it is not stolen parts . I will be happy with my carriers, that they will have some oiriginal numbers on them and the parts will be from original or close to original parts .That way they won't be sitting beside another carrier with the same numbers on them and only a few will know the difference in what was not original . My neighbour is old and has been restoring a modle T Ford .He now wants to sell it but to a guy that knows about the T's it is built from parts 1918-1927 .Someone will buy it and have a great time with it as long as it works .My 1928 Modle A Ford has the original spare tire but the other ones have been changed once so there is very few things that are original . We will have more of a problem putting on proper decals as to where it was in the army .

crikey ! Shaun has hit the nail on the head... full strip down or as they say over here a "Nut and Bolt rebuild" credit to you Lynn.....bring it back to life !

Shaun i have agreement with some of the comments on that thread in that VOSA and DVLA have been of great help to me. I agree what you post should be worded carefully so not to be taken out of context as it were.
