Project advice

Hi folks

I’m along time follower!

I recently purchased a 1990 vfr nc30, it was an abandoned project that was started with all good attentions that fell to the way side, a lot of money had been spent on it, forks rebuilt, swimgarm rebuilt, wheels re done/ new tyres etc .
The engine was out as the previous owner was doing shims and going to paint the engine and this is where it paused.

I’m nervous about the engine not running or having major issues, allow he’s assured me and gave me his word that it was a runner

I want to repaint engine etc and have it right, but am I better to fit it back in as it is and use old radiators etc just to see it running?

Before spending any time/ money and effort on it, as it needs new radiators etc?

What would you guys do???

Thanks Adam

Get it running first.

If it doesnt run then its not a bike - its parts..

Let’s hope it runs! Or else it’s been an expensive lesson! 🙈
