100 project has begun.
 

Well guys I have started the restore on the 100 I picked up back in Feb. I have been keeping busy this summer and fall finishing the 129 restore and with the 2185 I bought in Sept.
I drug the little guy out of the shed and took a few pics before her pressure wash bath and as y'all can see this is going to be a real challenge. But I wouldn't have it any other way. As you can see the rats had built a nice home under the battery box, I removed 2 skeletons.

Real challenge? It looks complete and doesn't have any big hole torched in it, you should be able to have it done in a week or two.:biggrin2: Looking forward to your progress, keep the pics coming.:beerchug:

Pics Pics Pics Pics!

I'm sure you will, but keep us updated with good pics along the way! Looking forward to seeing this one turn out!

:popcorn:.....

Looks like all he needs is a good bath and a carb rebuild and you're GTG!

I only wish, Carb rebuild for sure, gas tank was about 1/4 full or empty ever how one looks at it, gas had turned to varnish and tons of rust inside, think I have that figured out how to clean it. She will take lots of PB blaster but i'll get it torn apart. Time is on my side. Pics soon.

Go Bama, Go!:popcorn::popcorn:

Looks like a great restoration candidate---all there and not beat up! Seat and headlights appear aftermarket, rear hubcaps factory? So to what level of restoration are you going for--is this going to be a trailer queen or will you take photos after painting and then proceed to go mow the yard? Please keep your thread updated with lots of pics and HAVE FUN!

I always like to see a model 100 come back to life!

Tare down begins
 

Had a couple of warm days last week and I was able to get in the shop and skin a few knuckles. All and all wasn't to bad. Few pics.
