That's an easy one, paint that bracket on the swinging arm that holds the hugger! Sorry

One of today's small jobs.
Might also order a braided rear brake line too.

Nice job. I was going to say about the brake line but didn't want to be too cheeky!

As Porter had suggested, the clamp over the swingarm (in post #5, 1st pix), could maybe use a bit of a touch up. The patina look somehow distracts from the rest of the clean paint work.
Could be that you are waiting on when it would be safe enough to go out to buy more spay paint? Otherwise good work!

Erm... those warning notices on the swing arm. Are they still there from day 1?
I like your museum.

Gul yellow T5-R
I love my 2005 V70 T5 manual, it went into Shemtec the other week for some sorting.

To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

He is indeed rather wonderful. Mine needed a cambelt change, poly belt with pulleys and the PCV system replacing. It also had an annoying hard to cure ABS fault. I'll be honest, we'd been flat oot at work and I couldn't be arsed to do it myself. That and a knackered back...
He re-mapped it last year

I would've said so, the tailgate was also slightly off colour too.
