    Pretty good so far. Gonna paint the rear now. Drain the oil. New oil filter and oil. Tear apart the interior a bit to tidy up electrical and clean the inside. Clutch probably on Wednesday. And I should be good haha

    Think ill skip rock lights unless I have time.

    Painted rear bumper..damn it's cool how paint makes everything better.
