With the arches pretty well done it was time to strip out the remainder of the back end, which is basically the tank and the zorst plus a few other widgets



A bit of spanneriing and plusgassing saw the tank lowered down on the car jack






A brief look at the underside revealed that she is pretty solid with just the usual mank and surface rust



With my growing box of bits to do and space being used up I got on with sorting the bits rather that carrying on with the car so when the underside is done it's just a case of assembly which lets face it is the best bit 8)

First of was the filler neck which cleaned up and given new pipes and clips, also the cable ties are done alot better than the spiders web that was there befor


after pic to follow



The tank was fully drained and sender unit etc stripped out ready for a good scrubbing







Tank and sender unit all new and shinny again to match the underside 8)



All done with the seals and sender unit on, ready to be stored for the rebuild 8)




Also been slowing collecting bits for the BM first of all some Ebay bargins

1. RS S2 88 Spec front bumper £25


2. Cylinder head £5


3. Inlet manifold and carb £20


4. New lowering springs 40mm £30


Not to mention these bits and bobs

1. Head set


2. Filthy stainless fastenings to put all the shiny bits together again


3. Sad I know but even the grease follows the blue theme


4. Rear wheel bearings


5. Brake pipe and unions, haven't decided whether to replace the lines or just cut out the bad bits


Thats it for now but will be back for more FILTH!
