This means that the KR, Gearbox, Wiring Loom, Bike Carbs, Fuel Pump and Regualtor are up for grabs
Also as a bit of an update, i heard from a friend that rear arches and the fuel filler have been sorted.
Slow and steady wins the race

only issues so far have been:
a snapped head off the top water pipe,
a couple of rounded exhaust manifold bolts
and now just need to remove the allen bolt at the bottom of the charger bracket to strip the rest of the front (but the heads rounded already)
here's some pics

I;ve heard the drivers side is all welded up and passenger side has been started so it's getting there.
Might be a long shot but hoping to have the engine ready for when it comes back from paint

yeah really can't wait to see the fresh new paint on this and now set myself the challenge of trying to get the engine ready for when it comes back.
probably a lil bit optimistic but we'll see..
I will laugh if this comes back to me before the mk2 though
