Hi all Finally back on the forum. Took a break from vehicles for a while as mental health took a turn last year. Still not 100% but hopefully I get a move soon so I can be closer to family. Iv decided to do my original blaster build what I intended going on 7-10 years ago. this will take a...

Ah right well engine looks to have been sitting a while as the general outside is pretty rusty although I was told it turns over. I will probably get some spares of it though for engine I put in. Need to get battery as well but will get one when engine done as I don’t really need one just now...

I will do :) been snowing today so not got round to looking yet at how engine comes out. Not sure what you asking regarding mileage but Van is 2008 and the engine in it has done 170 thousand miles. With the mileage I’m not even going to try fixing it just getting another one for it. Got...

So my latest buy arrived today Gonna start getting engine ready to come out over next few days :)

So little update XR been put on hold for now due to I need to get my Vauxhall Vivaro van done and sold. Iv just purchased a Vauxhall combo 1.3 2008 van as my main vehicle as learning to drive. Needs engine replaced But will be cheap to do rather than buying this year if van ready to use...

So not much happening the now except for I got my new indicators in post and my white front brak cable. Gonna see about ordering a few more bits next week once I get birthday over with and see what funds I have as my powdercoating will likely be the last thing done once I get all parts ordered...

My frame has now completely been stripped so footpegs etc are off. I’m going to get the frame and swingarm done soon in black. As for the other bits I’m still deciding what other small parts I’m doing in what but have decided on these so far Candy Red will be these Both wheels Foot pegs...

Having to replace the rear shock with a upgraded Hano shock as my original is too expensive to service and it works out cheaper for a upgraded one. Il be ordering parts on the 4th Feb as got stuff to pay this month (joys of being out on my own lol)

Possibly lol I had a look at my xj600 today but engine is damaged (beyond repair without having to change bottom crankcase) so just breaking it instead. Good news is my xj 400 is turning over great just need to hook up hoses for carbs and fill it with fuel to see if it will go. Will be ordering...

Little update Frame is now completely bare ready to go to Powdercoater’s. Wheels also stripped from forks (still tyres to take off) to be powdercoated Iv changed colour of red Going with Jet black frame Jet Black chain and sprockets Jet Black clutch and brake levers Jet Black...

So finished dismantling it for now until I get rest of but no rush as just cost £80 to get a rear rack for it lol but as you can just make out in photo (need a bulb for this bedroom lol) it’s highly rusty frame and swinger but il be getting it sand blasted & powdercoated next month Going with...

Thanks man , it’s just my nerves I have problems with really now but I am now on meds which help and don’t give me any side affects otherwise I don’t take them.. glad to be back to working on bikes though not really thought about a off road toy as the places to legally use them over here are a...

Hey all so not been on this in over a year! My last toy I had while using this was a 2007 YZ 125 which I ended up selling as my local track closed again and I had no where to use it. Since then I finally told family about how where I was living and how it affected me as I had a meltdown in...
