All i want really is the fairings which i have sorted and maybe a screen brace. 
I have about 5 months until summer and some money to burn so may as well make the most out of it.  |

Nothing wrong with tarting it up. Just means i'll be lapped with some style. 
It's not like im spending big £££ anyway. Probably £500 max. |

£500 is five trackdays .
For me, I'd get a hell of a lot more fun out of five trackdays. |

And 10 - 12 is a better number than 5 - 7.
Also, you'll look a hell of a lot more trick and tarty with an extra 5 trackdays worth of fastness than with a pretty bike . |

Supposed to go out tonight and get wasted but my ride bailed (parents )
Hadn't seen them in a couple of days and weren't answering their phones/same as sister so was stuck inside. 
Got started on spraying the swingarm and to be honest im pretty impressed. Only put 2 coats on and it looks really good. The photos do no justice at all. Already use a 500ml can of spray so gotta get some more tomorrow.
As for the engine i just bought another one so will be able to deff get one running plus i have a couple of demon mechanics that will help me out.

Update:
Done a fair amount of stuff since my last post. R4nger & Klause came over on the weekend to help out. (I just sat watching ghost rider & top gear in a deck chair while they were working. )
Basically started to strip the engine down and have a look. Nick couldn't get the pistons moving so he started to take the cam chain and stuff off. It was pretty rusty when we had a look. Idea was to just strip the engine for spares while i use the other one which i am collection on the weekend.
Also bid on some R6 fairings but due to being busy forgot about the auction and got outbid  Spanking R6 race fairings for £86. 
So after giving up we tried the minimoto. It still didn't want to play and is still in pieces in my garage, stupid piece of chinese shit.  Apparently nick thinks its a carb problem so could possibly fix it.
In the mean time i have put the final coat of lacquer on the yolks and forks. Started spraying the frame but yet again ran out of paint, so another trip to halfords probably wednesday. Spend about £45 on paint already. 
Just seen a suzuki gsr ad on tv. (sorry a bit off topic)
I managed to smudge the swingarm and had to build back up the layers which is taking days.
Tonight i have taken the top end off (i think its called that) and found the pistons to be full of rust (see pic) and had siezed.

Also polished the exhaust that i got from R4nger (fool wouldn't clean it for me ) That came up pretty good, i believe it is a micron but i took the sticker off and have ordered a yoshimura one.

Sh!t, didn't realise the engine was in such a bad state mate!
Lucky you got a spare really. 3TJ parts wont fit that engine I think.
Swingarm looks good, what paint are you using to do that? |

lol, i got another one coming which was just over £50 so its not bad. Better than nothing.
It looks like it has just rusted from being sat which is pretty good, i think you can just clean it all up.
I have been using halford own paint. £5.99 per 500ml can for primer, top coat and lacquer. Its pretty top stuff, the pictures do no justice at all. It's also a hell of a lot more durable than i though. I hit a bit with a screwdriver and it hardly marked at all.
Hopefully be able to get the main components together on the weekend, have a rolling chassiss which will be good progress. |
