Hello everyone from Canada,
I am located in Ontario, Canada and my love for Ducati's has been going since i was 12 years old. I Have a 66 350 Sebring (Basketcase), and a 2004 Suzuki Sv650.
I am currently trying to bring my 350 back to life, and looking for all of the help I possibly can!

A bit of backround on my Sebring, I bought it from its original owner who lost intrest after trying to make it into a Cafe Racer. I was told it had preformance work done to it in 72' By Henry Hogben and run for that summer, and than parked. He dissasembled it in the mid 80's, and then.. sat in his basement- where he did woodworking.
This is the only picture I have of it together.

Sounds like it should be a good project - all that wood dust probably soaked up all or most of the wetness so things are not too rusty or curroded? Should be fun

The internals are quite pristine actually. the only issue i have so far is the end of the crank shaft that goes into the case cover bushing, its just a wee bit rusty.

Its not as bad as my dad's 67 Sebring that had a Seized piston :D

Im hopeing to have my motor running with in a month but half to get some gaskets & rubber seals soon!!

What's the worry? We ship worldwide, going to Canada is like going across town - it ain't going to break the bank sending things to you.
