It's only fucking back already !!!

Still need to finish fuel hoses, change rear diff, 1 wishbone and a few other things recommended such as MUCH bigger oil return to sump than I planned lol

Infact I got quite a list from him that's missing and prevented him from finishing it off

Btw the guy doing the work is FB Tunning in high Wycombe,,,,, one quick working place as I never got there till 2pm Saturday and he phoned me at 12 to say its done !

He's in risborough, I'm not sure if he'll be able to set-up bike carbs because I'm not sure if he'll have the right gear. He is an ex bike mechanic though and he prepares his brothers race bike.

That didn't take long!

So did he just put it back together? I thought he was supplying any bits you needed?

He did supply parts too but some bits are a little more labour intensive and he don't have time or space to wait fir parts ect, he recommended what I needed, made a list of todo things and I have ordered it

He looked at my sump return and said its WAY too small and needs to be an10 which I have ordered,, he also suggested a few nice ideas too but he just is too busy for projects taking up space which is fair play
