Engine will be way down the line and im only going to spend on making things fresh.
and maybe sidedrafts much later on.
I already spent on bike parts. most of if is here, 3 parcels still in the post.

This is where the bike is at the moment.

Durafix is easy to use even for me, I got a cheaper brand from ebay (prob same thing
diff name) I repaired a thin ally dumpling steamer handle came up stronger than new. 
The coke can demo just freaked me out when I saw it with some of the other stuff
like manifold and thread repairs is just hard to ignore. 
 
Polishing is another thing though I will have to get a small dremel and right small pads. 
I need a dremel anyway for heaps of other things so its a worthwhile investment. 
The trick could be to place the grille on the some dense carpet that way a larger buffer
doesnt just have just thin air through the gaps. Then easiet to tackle 2 sepaerate halves.

As for spending money on bike parts instead? A series would love quad bike carbs

Good stuff ash got 2 toys, have you still been revamping the tracks?

edit just read the front grills are alloy my bad

shit yea! i reckon he'd be able to build you a new after seeing those photo's, it'd be cool if he could make some of those suspension covers out of alloy

yer i've being thinkin of a different ways of going about it, i reckon you were on the right track maybe need to heat it up, get it soft then clamp it down??? or you try that already

yea thought you mentioned something, you can get this sports floor paint that's applied from 6-12mm thick i'll look into it if you want see if it can handle the heat and what not

oh rito fair enough i assume its the same sorta thing im talkin about

sweet hope it works out

I have freshed up the front end of my B10, and also screwed on my new plates to see how they will look once it's all rego'd and on the road.


New grille, Polished the front bumper, New JDM clear lenses over the Aussie parkers and new plates.

Im very pleased with it so far.

Im going to drop in some new shock absorbers front + rear and new leaf spring rubbers for the rear leaf springs over the weekend.
I Still have to pop off the drums and see how the slave cylinders and pads are, Change anything that needs doing.
Adjust the slack out of the handbrake, adjust headlight angles, Wash off the motor and box, check and replace and tie rod boots, ect. (They have zero slack so im holding off on the new tie rods and ball joints for now).
Spark plug leads need doing, they are mega old.
Wire up the guard repeaters.

Seat belts, I can't find any mounting holes, Im thinking it has never had any.
Im getting some lap belts, so im going to have to do large 3mm thick plates under the floor.
Im still waiting for seat belts to arrive.

So is probably still a few weeks off yet.


I have already replaced the battery with a new one, although I still have to make up a battery clamp.
Replaced rubber fuel lines and filter, fan belt, starter motor, overflow hose, vaccum hose, had fresh keys made up.
removed the old radio set up, (AM is still in the dash).

I also had a go at beating the drivers side headlight rim into something a bit straighter.
