No Date

No date as the rebuild has taken a little longer because the wife is down in Louisiana with friends and family so I can get work done on the house were building!!!...... Been a lot of changes though, got clutch and oil pump parts from Argo USA in San Fran and Scooter West in San Diego which ran the total bill to $475. Yesterday, well more last night/ early this morning brought the engine into the living room to rebuild the clutch and get the engine buttoned up, despite troubles with the oil pump shaft being installed incorrectly and marring the case a light filling cleaned her up and had everything back together in a hour or so. Biggest change though is the quick body work and paint, yes paint! Figured if I was going to bring her back from the dead then she might as well get a face life and get rid of the "sea foam green" in one fatal swoop! So that brings us to tonight, me and Jacks grandparents got a lot of work done.. Basically got her back on two wheels again aka reinstalling the front end since it had to be pulled to replace the front fender. Slapping the engine back in, well less slapping more cussing than anything, putting the tailight assembly, seat, spare mount, horncast and other misc. stuff put back on. Pretty much got it all back together and other than needing a new fuel tap shes ready to run! Got $300 left on the budget so 3 white wall tires and 3 rims are the next objective. Before that pictures will be posted tomorrow! For now though its 3:30 am I've had a ruff night and going to bed!!
