Glad it's got a new home for now - I hope you see it through to completion; even if you then move it on...

The counter argument to spending the money on the Scooby, is that once you have the touring car finished you'd be using that instead..... (playing devil's advocate).

I know keeping my ZS & getting it finished is a heart decision not a head one; but sometimes you just got to go with the flow and take that hit!

Good luck, hope you do get it finished though!

I'm starting to wonder if I'd want to track it after all the work

Man don't be a Wuss! I could say exactly the same , ive lost track of how much time and money i've thrown at the Reyland ZS. But i bloody well intend it give it a damm good seeing too when its running this summer.
Ive also spent years and thousands on one off bikes but the moment the visor went down and i hit the track all that was forgotten although i did sell a bespoke RGV500 before i spanked it good and proper after a rather fruity day at Cadwell PArk

Just imagine the surge of excitement as you sit in pit lane waiting to be let onto track

And, if after all the work - you simply gave up and passed it on to someone else without having taken it to the track - would you not regret it .... ? It's not like in 10 years you could do it all again from scratch if you thought you'd made a mistake. When you conceived the idea to do it all, was it to trailor it to shows, or to drive it?

Easy for others to comment as it's not us who have put in all the time, effort and cash thus far. Only you know where your head is. If it's - that's it, I'm through, no more for me - fair enough. I think your decision of - pause, store, review before I get rid - is a good common sense way to deal with what has been a huge investment in terms of finance, effort and emotion.

get the engine and chassis sorted and use it on the track, looks are less important there
