1978 CB750K Build

Hello Everyone,
Picked up a 1978 CB750 for $400. It was/is in really bad shape. Kept on the side of a house for ten years without running and exposed to elements. Started digging in and have made okay progress so far.

Following pictures are of picking it up.

Yeah everything electrical is shot. I removed the exhaust and it was crumbling apart. Ended up throwing almost everything electrical away. Rebuilt the carbs, I'll upload pictures soon. And removed the engine. The front brake caliper is completely frozen. Don't know if I can still revive it. Rear drum looks really good.
