Hi chaps, I've got round to stripping down the xt which has been left outside for many years.  The main bigger was getting the swing arm out, what started as an hours job ended up being a three hour job attacking it with a grinder... But it came out.

The header pipe has rotted out and stuck in the cylinder head, next challenge!, I have sent off the frame and parts off for shot blasting and painting then the collection and sourcing of new parts begins

Greetings
