Managed a few hours today at the garage, got the rear brakes plumbed up and fitted a extended flexi from the chassis to axle. Also got some rear arch and bump stops fitted.

They cover the road wheel's completely but not the offroad ones. Was a option for 100mm but went for 70mm

Bit of a carry on but the brakes are on and have given them a quick bleed still need another go probably. I've also went back to a standard brake servo.

4 diy bumpstops fitted to the previous person's spoa perches, changed my fuel tank just filters to swap again. Then it should be ready for a day out on 20th

Getting closer to drumclog! Reckon its pretty much good to go. Not got my handbrake connected up yet. But filters changed, everything under bonnets connected back up. I've put the right oil in the carb.

But tonight I finished the body work for this round. Not needed for clog but wanted it this far. 4 wheel arches trimmed and fitted. Painted the arches with my close but not close enough cans. And redid the stripe along bottom of doors/quarters.

Petty happy with how it looks right now. Will get a hand giving the brakes one last bleed. Then give it a test drive.
