Well done, that man!
Whereabouts in Plymouth are you? (I'll keep an eye out when I'm driving around)
Andy.
PS looking at your photo archive, what did you use to crimp the eyelets on your handbrake cable?

Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Great news sir 
Funny enough I moved the front diff and transfer box/shafts I had off you to a different lock up today
I never found that 2.8 injection aux devices wiring diagram I was trying to find for you btw!
Billy might even drag his kit out at somepoint this year so we could meet up after you've shaken yours down
Cheers

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

Hi G
Nice to hear from you !
yea i guessed that about the wiring, not too worried about that at moment- I just want to get out and about in it for the summer. Can then think about
sorting out the spare engine i have and fitting the T Technics kit then......
cheers Colin
