They always pop up so don't panic and pay over the top for them. It'll be one of the last things you fit

The back abs sensors normaly just pull out. The front ones are the bastards to get out in one piece. Plenty of copper slip when you refit them.

The shell is still in primer mate all bits have gone to the powder coaters and I have all the new bits from mat lewis
Just got to paint it and start putting it back together
Takes a bloody long time stripping all the little bits like the hubs, bearings etc but there's no point rushing it

It depends on which type of paint you used and what finish you are wanting.
