so not got as much done today as id off like because off famly coming to see the new house and also had to pop in to the bike shop to order my new bike

If you still need some clips, take a look over here:

Great shell and nice project. It never ceases to amaze me how great baby wipes are. They literally clean ANYTHING! Will keep an eye on this. You repaired any of those rusted areas yet?

Can't believe how clean your shell is for being original and unrestored. Looks like she will be a minter when your done. Keep up the good work m8
