Sourced some Threebond and sealed the cases.

Looks like I'm missing a bunch of circlips and other misc hardware. Will have to dig around the box the engine came in to see if I can find everything before I can continue.

Found a box full of misc parts which contained some of the parts I required - the joys of building an engine from a box of parts. There's a few variations of the YB100 with mine being the earlier model. Seeing as this engine was in pieces when I purchased it, I'm not sure if a piece I can't find is missing or just not needed. Currently referring to 2 seperate schematics and unfortunately my engine seems to have pieces from both...

Installed the kick start shaft after a bit of fluffing around with gear orientation. Also installed the clutch basket.

Turns out my clutch plates are at OEM measurements. No wear on them at all. I'll be using them again so I've left them in some oil to soak overnight. 1056088423_Photo15-01-1995836PM.thumb.jpg.79567d4ca430d5207c0bc8396c45edf9.jpg

@Truenotch cheers bro! Looking forward to your build thread! 

Got carried away and installed the points/magneto. Realised that I need to find a replacement side emblem, mine is bent to buggery. 
Also placed an order with Yambits for a 0.75mm oversized piston. Toyed with the idea of going 2mm over, but I think I'll keep it conservative for now. Once the piston arrives I'll send the cylinder off to get a re-bore and hone.

Making a start on the bodywork. Pulled out the swing arm and lower shock bushings which was an absolute bitch. Using a ghetto method of hot glue and a socket extension to pull out some of the tank dents. It's surprisingly working.  

What's everyones thoughts on powder coat vs paint? I want a good finish and the frame, side covers and tank will all be colour matched. Is powder or paint cheaper? (I suck at painting so don't want to do this myself).
