I did not complete the two week challenge but I'm still chipping away. Aidan at Pine Engineering sent me these photos of the br-x completed last night @BobbyBreeze was kind enough to lend me a centre cap to replicate also which are just off being anodized I have a new set of Yokohama A539 in 175/60 and 185/60 at home ready to go also

Remember how my master cylinder was rooted and pulled all the fluid into the booster? shane at powerstop brakes cleaned it up, reassembled and tested it after another shop tore it apart and quoted the earth to repair. He’s sleeving the master for me too. I’ve ordered another pcv valve. super stoked, Look him up for classic and modern/ABS brake solutions!

@RUNAMUCK My go to for lots of things is comac, zero human interaction and stuff just turns up on the courier etc https://www.comac.co.nz/rubber-grommets

Yeah I'm adorable too

might be able to make it will see what i can do was supposed to be somewhere else but will try do the shuffle....

Something something something maybe I'll get it together this weekend

This bike kicks back way more than every other dr200 engine i have, im assuming its cos theres a pool of oil leaked into the cylinder, normally its a lazy kick and away they go. Its got some nice bars and a battery tender on it, wonder if its got a milled head too 1999 DF200. TIL that DF200s are actually different from DR200 farm bikes. They are a road frame converted to farm bike spec. pillion pegs, different rear rack mounting, provision for only 1 kick stand and anodized black alloy rims I can see why the deleted the rear peg loop, if you drop the bike it bends them, it breaks the frame, and the pegs then cut the swingam..... noting too bad for a farm/bush bike tho being a bush bike means its really a river bike tho

Got some more things fixed she's getting better I got an entire manual conversion but keeping her auto for now. Today is fixing small things like alarm made it hard to start sometimes must be a loose connection then door lock was jamming locked and suspension knock which was wheel bearings

I'm sure that man with your skills could make one working Avenger out of 7

Give @danger a call. He's a 5ft 8 stud. /Repco

One day in the near future you can count me in....

My daughters 10th birthday is on the 14th, I hadn't really thought about it that much, when I mentioned it to her, the look on her face made me realise I wont be attending....

Well i'm out, blardy step niece decided to get married on the 13th. Wife said "Do what YOU want to do" which translated to English from wife language means "You better come to this wedding cunt"

So apparently I wasn't actually finished writing or updating. Sooooo.... we pulled the door cards off to re-stretch the vinyl and reglue and found *dun dun duuuuun* .... bloody rust. I mean it makes sense to have rust in a door that age, but was I expecting it? No. Well that turned my nice easy job into another job to add to the list. So with wire brush in hand we set off scrubbing that bloody rust. Did we wear face masks? No. Do I have rust all up my nose? God yes. Am I an idiot? Up for discussion. After we got all that rust out we decided yeah let's get to rust converting. So we brushed and painted and brushed and boy when I tell you it's hard work trying to rust converter inside a door even for little girly hands to get in I mean it. Did I get covered in rust converter? Yes. Did I lie down on the floor to see into the door while holding a loaded up brush? Yes. Did this rust converter then fall down into my eye because I didn't wear eye protection? Also Yes. Am I an idiot? I'm beginning to believe I am. Lesson for today: Wear your PPE.

Its moving day.... Here it will be sit for some undetermined amount of time... I may be able to get the wheels/tyres refurbed while it stays in storage but there wont be much of an update on this until I build my new shed. Been a good fun project so far and am itching to get the rest of it completed and on the road...
