Parked for 6 years on grass or possibly gravel and weeds I think.
Rear bushes. Mostly self-explanatory. Not a fan of the Febi bushes for the hub as the metal is very thin making them likely to crush when they go in. I'll investigate the Febest versions, or spend the money on the genuine D3 items in the future.
Fuel tank straps. They are attached to studs pressed in to the body. When removing these nuts one has to be
extremely careful not to put too much torque on them as the studs will just spin in their holes and then you're going to have a very bad day.
After soaking in WD40 for a couple of days, then cleaned with a wire brush and a pick, then soaked in WD40 for a bit longer, I'll screw a spare M8 nut on to clean up the thread. Once this goes on and off by hand, only then will I loosen the strap nut, as I know it'll come off cleanly. This is the sort of job where you need a 1/4" ratchet, maybe 3/8" max, so as not to put too much torque on anything.
With the straps on the right hand side off, the tank drops just enough to get to the bolts holding the horribly rusty exhaust hanger
Powdercoated exhaust hanger and tank straps, with new nuts.
Much better
