Not posting any deadlines....... It`ll be done when its done But I want to be driving something rather than building something this year ;D Its been off the road over a year now - its turned into a project which it was never meant to be  Cheers for the offer Alex, most of the small stuff will end up going to Redditch as they did my bike bits for me and it was a superb job very reasonable too Unless there is some low bake powder out there and then I`ll build an oven around the car and powdercoat the underneath ;D |

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

Fookinell it lives  Sump is still to do once the engine goes back in again but I think it will work ok Shed is how it should always have been........ Freed of Pandas its assumed its correct state ;D Its got water, Big compressor, Kettle, Microwave and a Lathe now as well  ;D ;D Hows that lovely Jo-Jo....... Tell her I`m still waiting on my pictures  |

Hi, came across this forum whilst browsing s/chargers
very impressed with all the work you've done so far, will
await the next progress report.
Joined the forum just to say well done
Oh ! and to ask one question, how have you installed the relief/
recirculation valve on the M45 ?
regards
