The next job was repairing two pieces of broken bodywork, now this was very challenging as the bodywork is near impossible to source new and second-hand so your best bet is to try and repair your own. I had the chain and sprocket kit changed by my local dealership to ensure the drive train was tip top. Luckily I found a company in the Netherlands that still manufactured the bolts I needed. I had to replace a few missing bolts and screws to the bodywork and the brake callipers here and there which was fun trying to source the originals. Whilst they were away I cleaned the swing arm, rear brakes, rear suspension and then cleaned the front brakes too. I started with the wheels, they were very badly corroded so I removed them and then sent them off to a specialist company to have refurbished and powder coated. So for the last three months I’ve been working away in my spare time, trying to refurb, replace and fix broken parts.
