disconnected rear brake lines, handbrake cables needed, front tyres, tie rods
need to start the engine
wipers need fitting, washer bottle & pump need fitting. spanner check.
MOT/Tax/Insurance
cash outlay is minimal, but long hours at work, and pretty much "feeling shattered" all weekend means I just can't get the time.
can't wait though.

Well that's fixed that.
Today someone ran fairly lightly into the back of me 5-10mph tops - didn't brake, since he was fetching stuff from his passenger footwell as we crawled through traffic to get to a roundabout.
No matter, it's not major damage - but some paint is damaged and tailgate lifted
easy DIY fix, but since I was going to put it up for sale in a little under 2 weeks it seems fitting that I 'go through insurance' since someone else is paying to repair it. In all reality it'll be written off. So that's a lot easier
pick up a rental tomorrow, so that'll get a hard life

basically I'm thinking of buying it back from the insurance, and selling to anyone that 'wants' it at cost +£100
and for the £100 they get tax til October (and MOT) 3/4 tank of fuel and about £150 of spares that are likely to be useful....
I have no further use for it, plus I'm expecting £500 from the insurance - luckily my neck isn't twinging, so I should be happy riding for the rest of the year, maybe buying something later in the year again.

Must restrain myself 
If I wasnt thinking of getting a westie, I would seriously consider taking it off your hands.

Having had two proper shunts it's OK so far. see how it goes tonight though... that'll be the acid test.
that'd be the good option
spares package includes:
2x Koni dampers
2x Wishbones
2x Balljoints
2x Rod Ends
2x Front Top Mounts
1x Thermostat
2x Front hub carriers
1x Dizzy cap
4x HT Leads
1x Coil (maybe..)
Somewhere between 10 & 25% of the payout, so £50-£125 I guess
I'll certainly be riding my bike for the summer, it can be a nice ride - then I might see about a 16v again, or finish my vario (preferred option)
