Hello Everyone ,I know its been some time , I had to sacrifice my build time for( work pays the bills time) . Any way I've been doing some small jobs on the bike like finishing up the exhaust mount . I had made the mount hole to large so it had to be sleeved with an 8mm threaded bushing then welded and milled down . added before and after pics. after pic with the bolt .

After looking at the pictures, I would say that is an understatement. Beautiful paint job. Please post pictures of the ELR if you have it finished. I'm sure it looks incredible!

Can't wait to start tuning again , Im running the rs34's and started tuning last year before pulling it apart, i'd say im about 50% complete adjusting the carbs and there are several more mods i like to do , the best part is i can finally ride her lol.
