Trying to spec some gauges from Speedhut and have realised that the GPS speedo has a multifunction display that contains some mind-boggling data possibilities The standing quarter is intriguing enough but the 0-60 time is worse because where would I find a hill long enough?

Can't you just strap the spridjet to the back really well and fire it up.......

It's not the 0-60 time you should be worried about, it's the 60-0.

Is the 0-60 display changeable from seconds to minutes?...

Stripping out the old cab loom Welding up the tinwork that we didn't have to take out in the end. DOH Choosing the extra long loom was obviously a good idea.

Nice to see the engine swap advancing, I've managed to start on my conversion again and am swapping the front 2 engine mounts to a single engine mount, original to RL's (the yanks like them on buses and so do we). I'm thinking the chassis twist is the reason for it?

Jayson, Great to hear the old mojo is back. We did suspect that removing the front crossmember might lead to some frame flex but if that happens we have a cunning plan (don't we always ) to fabricate a brace between the engine mounts. Cheers, Ian

Fuse box meet glove box, glove box meet fuse box. Now the introductions are done we hate the ally plate so we'll change that soon.

The little (red) engine that could Reminds me of when we fitted a new engine in one of my dads boat - fecking thing was painted green - everything all together - just like that!!! I was like - really - I'd expect parts to be painted and then assembled - not engine assembled and then everything painted but my dad said all his marine engines had been like that.....
