Nice to see somebody making some progress (unlike me)...

How much of that sound absorption stuff (dynomat or similar) did you use?

I think you have made very good progress buddy!
In fact, your progress has made us ALL happier

I used 8 sheets 50X160cm

I'm so excited about this step by step progress,i suggest not doing sandblasting there is a guy here in Thessaloniki that can make them something different, check this link:

I think maybe your going to love this!

That is an interesting work. But it is not 100% chrome finish. More like shinning metal finish. Where I brought my rims, he also does chrome work but I chose to go with stock light gray. After all, true chrome on rims will peel off from hight temperatures in not done correctly with 3 layers.

Finished up the installation of the seat covers

and the overheads.


Installed the servo


and the clutch master with windshield sealant


and avoided using those Philips screws from the inside. Much easier to tighten. Substituted with Stainless steel M17s


Pardon the blurry images... Phone couldn't focus under that light:(

Cool! Can you do mine? Or wait, perhaps may i ask you for tips to do the seatcovers?

Yes! Give them to someone else to do for just 40 EUR
A heavenly solution!
I takes so much time and strength.
Best tools:
- heat gun (or preferably hair dryer)
- Backing paper (helps the sliding of the cover on to the seats)
- Tie raps (for tightening)
- Rubber straps (the ones used to fasten stuff on your motorcycle track)

I WILL NEVER do it again!
