Not done but it's coming along. Have to concentrate on other things for Christmas. Plus the wife wasn't happy with the mini portable garage I built over the front of it to work under with Christmas coming.

Here are a few picks of how it looks at the moment. She has had a bath (pressure washed), new hoses, new belts, new solid stainless steel fuel line, re-wrapping the wire harness(s) and other stuff. At this point just going over everything with a fine tooth comb. Cleaned every electrical connection and applied die-electric grease.

After the holidays will get back to her.
