Took all morning to bleed the bloody brake, shit in the holes in the master cylinder from blasting and coating but now it’s sorted.

There’s probably a day or two left to finish this when the parts come back. Stumbling point will be the seat as waiting for the nod from the upholstery to take it for its cover. Should be done next Friday all being well apart from that, fingers crossed

Russ I don’t know what you’re smoking, drinking or necking but one thing we can always agree on is you sure as shit don’t do subtle ( ignore the x7). I love your builds completely unique and never a dull moment 👍

I love your builds completely unique and never a dull moment 👍 I just have to have a conversation starter, I love it as people just have to stop whether they like it or not. Why build the norm that everyone already has?

Looking sweet! Only thing I would check is if the rad grill will cause any restriction in flow through the radiator.
If you run a digital temperature gauge, you can see where you are once you are up and running and can try with and without the grill for comparison.
Keep up the great work! :-)

So I had a go on the polishing mop to match the machined outer case to the other bits, it’s a dirty job I’m black. But it’s a satisfying job when it looks nice.
