right not really for much done till today other than cleaning brackets and random stuff for painting, and few pics of it going back together.

decided to give the block a quick coat of black.



then decided head didnt look right so did that silver



got to try and get the inner wing areas cleaned up and pollished in morning before re-fitting air box and metering head atm it looks like this



ive re-fitted the rocker and cam cover with new stainless steel bolts and gaskets, 3 bolts didnt fit though so got to go and buy new ones can you guess which ones they are lol








got to get the loom all re-taped in morning and clean up all the connectors and then hopefully get some more stuff re-fitted got new g60 top mounts to go on soon, and got to paint the fan housing also
i know its no where near show standard but think its a improvement.

all opinions good and bad welcome

Will probably use tfr and loads of hot soapy water and a stiff brush to clean the inner wing then get the machine polisher in there.

It's killed me to do what I have today though as suffering from flu and spent the day on red bull and lemsip, paying for it now though

finnaly got some more bits done today unfortunately it started to piss it down so had to stop but shes very nearly back together, got a few bits of silver detailing to do on the metering head, and re-route some bits of me loom to tidy it up a bit. but overall im happy with how its looking

*note the flash has made bits looks rusty that dont look rusty in daylight bizzarely







opinions welcomed as always
