New Project Started. Pick up this Z1 for a good price. Not shown is a vintage Kerker 4 into 1. Hasn't been started in 8 years or so. Plan on a restomod, no mods that involve cutting or cannot be easily reversed.

It came with the owners manual, Factory service manual, tool kit.
It also has an oil cooler on it that I am not sure if factory but I see some on ebay, anyone have any idea if it was factory or just a common add on?
Also can anyone identify the shock on it?
More images to come as I clean it up and see whats under years of dust.

Very nice find ,,,,,,,,,,The oil cooler is just a common add on and the shocks look like mulholland shocks.
