Hi Fontyyy,

Yeah the MC18F3 for a lot of people is the best, as it was most similar to the RS250 NF5 racer. The bike looked a lot worse at first glance than it was and I was really pleased on 'strip down' to see most of it come up fresh with some TLC. The exhausts have taken a lot of fabrication repairs and the engine was probably the worst part, simply because the birds nest in the airbox meant bits of dirt, twiggs and poop had fallen into the crankcases. I've spent most time and money fixing the engine, raiding my new old stock hoard to fit a new crank, pistons, rings, little ends, gudgeon pins, all seals etc. Just waiting on clutch plates to arrive and then I should be getting close to having the motor finished. The next big hurdle is the bodywork, as I want it to look like the brochure/manual and thats gonna take a chunk of budget. Anyway, happy enough so far and it's a keeper for sure - as I'm unlikely to find another.

Cheers

Dan
