I bought another XT500 about 2 months ago and have been adding bits ai had laying around.

I did buy some new plastics , decals and a tank as well as other stuff, stands me a £1450 ish.

Its took some long hard days but it actually pulls well, plan is to just run it as is and maybe restore

maybe when i get bored.

A few more small jobs to do like adding the bash plate once the dents have been removed.
