stuff done today.
Got that bultaco that was in the garage for a while started, do these people not know that is there is too much oil in the premix the fuel leans out and that’s nearly as bad as not have enough oil? he only wants €600 for it, was tempted till I realised it’s righthand gearchange.
New pads for the runnner 180, gotta sell it off now.
New oil and filter for the poor suffering cbr6, really needs a rear tyre now.39500miles on the clock now, which makes its about 75000miles?
50mm spring on the left and a 60mm spring on the right. whew that’s cleared up a lot of my worries about this back end being a mk1,I now know for certain its a mk2, sweet.
turned it around by lifted it up with one hand and spinning it around like a top. over my head. whilst keeping the crocodiles back with a whip and a chair. with my third arm.
you can see it clearer now that the shite on the floor is gone.
Another new bit needed, think this was part of the reason why the spring broke.
Tub off and Paint on.
Fromt this angle its good.
Not so from this angle, too plain.
Needs that front end from the dr750, or the rear shortened.
Tub off!
Must get all the wood out and plan ahead for the new floor.
50mm rear leafs and a big bar that pulls both drum for the hand brake points to a mk1 rear end? i could be quite wrong tho.
What gearbox do we have? 4 speed anyway.
OL25A2?
I think that was meant to be a freeze plug..
Whole thing is quite solid, but then again it would take a lot of punishment to actually rust steel this thick.
Hope the starter motor is okay on that side, crossflow is a bit different then the pinto.
Jago Jeep, tub nearly off.
Made a big hole in the floor for the rollcage to come through when we lift the tub
Loads of brute force but no way was it moving, will need to lift the body quite high now to get it over the bar. Got the rear part of the cage out at this stage.
wood batons for people to hold onto when the lift comes.
Got more clearance with some of the weight out, think I’ll just leave it until I drive it, then if there is not enough up-travel I’ll chop about the rails to give it more, floors shall be unboltable which’ll make life easyier.
Tub moved back away from front cage.
All that didn’t take all day so I tried to put on the new body work on the cbr, I forgot the key for the new tank and that was the end of that.
black + red rear suit it.
Rust coming out from the water based paint, it too plain anyway so some strips maybe are called for.
