Talking Let the project begin

Managed to get my hands on an old XT 660 X in Red with a whopping 9,500 miles on it , ate most of my tight budget ..
Generally good condition, rough areas are :

Front of engine corrosion and paint flaked off,
Wobbly rear sprocket carrier ,
broken red tank/radiator panel ,
tatty spokes

The fitted topbox and panniers bracket has odd bolts and poor paint (but will be binning them any way)

Havnt herd her running yet as the battery was low.

So first day of ownership saw her stripped nealy to the bone,

The exhaust port and small manifold between them all had siezed bolts, managed to get 3 exhaust studs out and other nut off, but snapped the two small allen bolts in the small pipe/manifold so neeed to drill the rest out and clean threads up AAAAHHHH .

Second day frame and other parts inc engine were blasted ready for coloring in ,

All plaggy bits have been through the sink ,greasy bits de greased.


Parts needed so far include:

RH tank/radiator panel in red
cush drive and pos sprocket /hub baring
Head taper baring and seal
Few nuts n bolts,
service items .
rear brake caliper guard
chain and sprocket look ok but will replace {suggestions on gearing? please)
Exhaust manifold gaskets and studs
Handle bar to top yeolk bushes
alloy sump bash plate

Any pointers as to suppliers greatfully received

Looking forward to getting it all back together

Ill post pics as i go along when i work out how to :::
