Progress

With the sunny days more frequent, the garage is warming up and I have been able to make substantial progress.

The engine is fully ready. Electricals all done (I think - still unsecure about starter motor - I need to ask Derek...), hydraulics, all the complicated oil circuit.

It was quite a saga to put fluids in:
   -petrol I managed to spill some from jerricane into the boot of my (regular) car... it's been smelling horrible for 2 weeks now...
   -Oil I managed to spill a nice load on the engine - this is horrible to try to remove
   -Coolant I filled too much - still hoping some internal bubbles will swallow the extra load to avoid using syringe to remove few 100ml's...
   -Brake fluid I can't resolve myself to do it yet... after above issues... one for May I think

The carpets were quite hard to put right, but I am very pleased with final results. Seats were easy to do. The boot carpet and cover is insanely hard... just finished the carpets but the cover is yet to have durable dots on it... next week-end...

Still do do: doors (difficult drilling to hook them on the windscreen), boot cover dots, brake bleeding, coolant bleeding, front cycle wings and repeater, electrical connections for headlights and various IVA stuff. I think I am 90% done. Awesome...
