Thanks to all for these great views
Sounds like the general consensus is to get it running fair and keep it's "patina" as much as possible
I like this as much as I am not a painter, more mechanic
Thanks all for your help, I'll let you know if it goes forward

Thanks Rex
Have you any idea of availability of spares for this age of bike
for my 50's and 60's Norton and Triumph it's no problem, but for a 30's bike ??

British Bikes / Advice on first project bike

Good day, all,
I have a couple of old british bikes which run well and don't need much special work to them.
I am now thinking of a first restoration project and came across this bike, a 1932 BSA Blue Star
so, if any Restorers could give me their point of view on whether this is a good choice, I'd be very grateful

She ran up to 10 years ago, has good compression and not too many bits missing
The present owner thinks a few days work should get her going, but I'd like to strip and rebuild entirely

Any advice ?
