Welding to floor: check
Replace brake calipers, pads, discs: check:
Replace airbags and shocks: check:
Fix suspension air leaks in one of lines: check
Change all of the fluid - engine oil, diffs, brake, coolant: check
Take it for MOT and it fails spectacularly on emissions.
So now working through ignition servicing. But still glad all my other work was a success !
Also failed on headlamp alignment, but I planned to replace the candles with LED upgrades anyway

Took it up to Holeshot racing to get a check over of the map, he tweaked the furling and while he was at it checked the valve clearances and cleaned and ran an injector test.

I’m not going to lie there was about 10 seconds I was thinking why’s the engine in the front
What are those drill bits? I’ve 2 exhaust studs to do at some pointFor today's fun I had to remove the sheared off coil pack retaining studs. Two of them came no bother, last one needed a bit of precision drilling

That's an Eezi out sticking out what's left of the bolt. The drill bits I used were rubbish, but managed to drill into them enough to get the Eezi out in. Exhaust studs can be tricky enough if heat hardened!

I've only have 3 tanks of fuel though the daily this year! That looks a lot more fun though.
