The pictures below show that progress of the restoration, which stretched over almost two years because of repeated problems with spare part purchases and repair jobs of components.
Condition of the Gummikuh in July 2009
The target, just in black
September 2009, testing the engine after re-assembling it
October 2009, the engine completely re-built, frame re-painted but still waiting for parts
December 10, 2009
December 10, 2009. The gearbox still missing.
30 January 2010: While still waiting for the instrument in the lamp the R75 is assembled, the engine tested and the carbs adjusted.
There is still a lot to do, it needs a new exhaust, the original round valve covers and a smaller back wheel. Original shock absorbers at the back would also be nice.
January 2011
January 2011: Traditional valve covers, new exhaust pipes from Polo, stainless steel battery covers, original size back wheel, side mirrors, and reconditioned carburetors.
Restored original 750 ccm since the Siebenrock power kit with 1000 ccm was too much for the small battery and old electric starter.
