Exclamation Help!! its time to ressurect my SV

As some of you know i put my SV through some pretty rough times, the last crash involving the machine being written off as a Cat C or D.. i cant remember..

However i didnt continue with my claim due to my insurance going through the roof, so i purchased a Daytona 675 instead and my SV is sat in the grarage doing nothing and has been since april..

now with winter setting in firmly im pushing my limited resources and funding into fixing the SV for possibly a May return,

i did consider selling the scrap.. but i owe finance so it wouldnt be economical as it wouldnt pay off the finance if sold.

below is a list of Needs and Wants from my insurance rundown and my own observations..

NEEDS

Rear Subframe
Front Subrame
Battery
Exhaust + link pipe
Rearsets
Tyres
Rear brake bleed Nipple

Right hand side R&G crash bung
Engine Refresh (oil, Service Etc)
Wheel Alignment check
Re registering/ testing for road use

WANTS

Replaced body work
Paint Job
Rear shock
Extra Crash Protection
New Chain and Sprocket
New discs
Braided Lines
Fork Internals upgrade

Obviously the NEEDS section is a MUST maybe the extra crash protection should be in the needs too lol,
i need help in terms of accurate prices for the parts i require, things i could of missed that are not so obvious.

This is how it looked two months before the final crash...

This is how it looks now...

Any posotive help would be grately appreciated

Thanks

LyleJ

Just a thought, if it's been sitting since April it will probably need a brake rebuild as well
