Now finished :D Runs well. The pleasing thing about this one is that it needed so few new parts. Throttle cable, HT lead and cap, tilt latch for the transom bracket, plus a few new stainless fasteners and a new decal. Magneto just needed a general clean up, which makes a change, and saved the cost of new coil.

Elbow grease comes for free :P The tank took a long time, due to the corrosion pitting that needs dressing out. Good thing about these steel tanks is they are less prone to denting though.

Just need to fish out a bakelite spark plug cap at some point.

Lets see some more restorations on here!

Very nicely done, great job.
I would love to have an early 102, I think they are one of the best looking motors of all the seagulls, except the Marston's of course, but Its getting hard to get a genuine unrestored one, still looking though.
