Z50 going together

I am working on my '79 Z50, getting the engine installed and other parts from one of my Panda Funriders. The rear brake lever was seized on to the shaft, but with a little heat, it came right off. It's not very clean, but I am happy with the progress. Hopefully I can ride it on Sunday with my son.

Actually the former owner was doing some crazy jumps on the thing, so he added a section of a full-size bike fork spring to get some more compression out of the forks!!!!
ps - he bent the frame doing this; crazy kids......
