Hi Andy,

If it make you feel any better.............same here.............my RS has been stood for 2 1/2 years now and a couple of real small rust spots have appeared. So it's back to stripping the shell to nothing and onto Jon (Spellers) for a bit of body work. probably in 3/4 weeks time.

Got the Bump Stop delivered, so thanks again for the shout...........

I'm also finding more and more bit I need..........it gets you down but I'm sure there's a light at the end of a tunnel somewhere .

You're is going to look a when finished so just keep going.
