Cosmic's

I had a set of 175/70-13 tyres fitted today. Bridgestone Turanza with a "Buy 3 get the 4th free" deal. $267.00 for 4 new Bridgestone tyres.
Before fitting the cosmic's.
 4 new Bridgestones plus spare.
 Now with the Cosmic's fitted and looking the part I must say.
Wasn't sure if I should have removed the paint from the fins
However I think they look OK as they are. Chrome nut covers
will be fitted when its all said and done.

Getting on with it.

While the engine is away the owner is at play.
Preparing all the ancillaries to go on the engine when its completed. I had the air cleaner paint matched by the paint shop. I call it "French army surplus tank green" I have no idea what they were thinking when they came up with that colour!
If anyone can send me photos of the sticker which is on the air cleaner with dimensions and text it would be much appreciated.
 Extractors re painted with VHT flame resistant white.
 Ready to bolt onto the Webers.
The jack got some love as well.

Engine rebuild.

Well I finally did it!
I took the engine to the mechanic today to be rebuilt. He will pull it down over the next week or so and see what is required, and along with the clutch I will order what parts are required from Belgium while the machining is being carried out. I hope to post photos of the build as it comes along.
Now I need to make myself busy rebuilding and painting the other bits such as the fuel pump and paint the air cleaner and extractors. I will also put some new Bridgestone's on the Cosmic's and put some DOT4 in the brakes. Good to have it moving along again.
