I think all cables will need replacing or inventive routing, new multifunction gauge- possibly a Koso, replacement side covers, brake lines and a respray. Oh and the leather seat project that I've got my mum involved in but sadly she is undergoing constant chemo so not much into the idea anymore.
Things I've learnt, I can't weld but I can melt two pieces of metal together and tidy it up with filler. Fibreglassing is satisfying if a bit tricky at times. Paint stripper is very flammable, don't set light to it while holding an item covered in it, you may just flap around like a loony trying to put it out and splash molten stripper on your otherwise immaculate Daytona 675. This really did happen and I'm only just forgiving myself for it.
