hope so, im away this weekend and ive run out of money until payday now so i'll have to wait til next weekend before i get a chance to start it.

I hope I can still drive!!

cheers for comments too

couple of pics from t'other week.

Had to order a few new bits from BMW, so will fit them and order another adaptor for my exhaust next week.

I'm away this weekend, but I'm hoping I'll have everything together and started the weekend after (fingers crossed!!!)

engines lookin good matey, may get to c ths one day !

sweet engine joe

Was hoping to get it started this weekend, but I still need an exhaust adaptor

with the posties being on strike atm, I havn't been able to order it, but luckily, the company is fairly local in Ormskirk, so looks like I'll have to get the train up there nice and early on Saturday if I have any chance of getting it running this weekend.

Also waiting on a 35mm - 50mm jubilee clip for a coolant hose, so if anyone has one of these spare, it would be much appreciated.

If i wasn't busy joe i would have ran you over there Joe.
Will let you know if my plans change.

no problem mate

Went all the way to Lancashire (5 miles outside of Ormskirk - which is a very long way on a bike btw especially being eaten by rabid dogs on tiny islands, but thats not the point, the point is, it was a long way on the train on a bike to ormskirk) today to get my exhaust adaptors.
Got them alright, no problems.
Also got my jubilee clip through the post.
All good, then I went to get my oil filter from Halfords.
They don't even fookin stock it.

Anyone know if Senars is open tomorrow morning?

Otherwise, looks like the cars not gunna be running til at least next weekend

think senars is open till 11 or 12 ring em first

thought so, will do

cheers

senars is shut on sundays, am pretty sure of it.

d'oh. will give them a ring anyway

am certaint because most garages are closed and that is he majority of their buisness so they dont open. glsd you enjoyed the bike ride lol bet you cant wait to get it sorted and do a way with all that eco freindly power lol

bah, gutted then, looks like next weekend.

damn right, im f'kin sick of the bike and walkin now lol

Will probably work on it 2moro, and get as far as I can without the oil filter.

Will get some better pics too with my new cam

Just found some pics of the engine before I started stripping it
