The list is getting shorter, no doubt.
Radiator still leaks and oil cooler lines still leak and I have a leak out of the sump plug (lol!)
Front suspension is still garbage. Ohlins parts are apparently in transit though.
When they're back, I can assemble the struts, fit springs and brace.
Still have to do timing belt, tensioners, serp belt, water pump too.
Still a few bits of broken interior trim to address, etc.

I dont think any normal person fixes the lower engine mounts never mind what has happened here!!
They're a big factor in what is commonly perceived as poor shifting (in auto cars), particularly the lower front torque mount.
The RH lower one is a common failure item too.
These, combined with low profile tyres and firm spring rates are sometimes the biggest reasons why used 850Rs feel 'crashy' over bumps and a bit more worn out than a similarly aged T5.
Here's a couple of pics for VQ -
Not sure how or what went on to do this but this is clear example of what 12 year olds dont make good panel beaters.
