Picked up a few bits for the firenza over the last couple off weeks.

Image
complete front axle all new bushes, spax adjustables, uprated springs a bit dusty but no rust . It is a 1300 frame so will need to swap the mounts to fit the turbo lump cost £50

Image
Rear scimmiter powerlock axle needs converting to discs and a good sandblast and paint £20

Image
" fiberglass front wings from honey bourne mouldings good copies but i havnt tried to fit them yet £100 for the pair
