Aye looks a good job, bet you can't wait to get it back together and drive it

[dobboy 231 2 Cars]

Looking good!

 

Putting it back together will be enjoyable, and if you have everything organised it doesnt take too long before it starts coming together.

[Supersport2 12 1 Cars]

Back from the painters!

 

 

 

Beam refresh!

If i were you i'd consider getting the car machine polished before you build it all up. (I regret not doing it with mine immediately after it came back from painters.) The painters flatten and polish it, but a good detailer would take it further and make your colour outstandingly shinny, and it would be reasonably quick/cheap as he wouldn't need to mask off everything. Or perhaps it's something you could do yourself.

 

you'll need to sort out some satin black for the door pillars too?

I've got the respray kit thanks, and engine stickers.

 

Never thought of a machine polish. Might give it a go! Thanks.

Putting things back together slowly.

 

Still waiting for hubs to come back from the garage, with new bearings pressed in!

[Supersport2 12 1 Cars]

 

 

 

 

Hubs are back! Wading through the loom, before we lob the engine back in.

Still having fun tho!

A little tight for the air filter. I've seen the smaller washer bottle and the spoox smaller inlet hose. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[welshpug 1,626]

get a BBM inlet hose

[Anthony 1,000]

You'll probably need a shorter filter too if you're planning on putting the washer bottle back in the standard position.

[Supersport2 12 1 Cars]

I've looked at the bbm website, but the discount code doesn't work.

 

It was a toss up between the inlet hose of a smaller washer bottle. Both are similar in price. If I had one or the other, I think I could get away with the filter.

Engine is now up and running!! Had a few issues, the fuel pump relay wasn't kicking in, but primed it by bridging the relay and went, once I put the leads on the right way!!

Majority of the lights are working, air horn is a struggle at the moment, hoping for someone to help with that!!! There's only two wires going to this relay, both carry 12v, and no other wires for the coil, inside the relay. So two wires missing, no idea where they've gone!!

Next is water plumbing and brake bleeding!!
