When its fixed. got some bits still to do
Got an air/fuel meter. still gotta get a lambda sensor and fit it
Steering rack needs a going over
Brakes need a bleed at least, new shoes/pads at worst
Bonnet is getting some custom paint, that should be underway if not finished by tomorrow (will be posting pics when done)
New radiator needed. might go alloy. might cheap out and see if there is something salvagable at upi
Its the little fiddly bits that take the time / punch the wallet

I went with a simple samurai face mask for the bonnet. I might add a helmet later but for now getting this thing on the road takes priority over busting my balls trying to figure the best design and how to do the composition. here it is in its splendifourus glory :P
