[thestu]

getting the floor to paint..so i had to take of all that hard plastic under the carpet it took like 5 days to take off...at the end all of the rubber/plastic was around 7 to 10kg....NO JOKE...
painting tomoz....

Removed the spacer plate from my ABF and installed an OEM VRS kit and a standard, rebuilt ABF head. Went to time it up and realised the dolt at the engine builders had left the inlet cam one tooth out on the chain... undid everything, pulled cams, re-timed, lubed up and reassembled - looking to be sold in the next few months!

Ordered lots at the Autotech 40% sale (I hope others took advantage of this!)

ECS tuning have a decent sale aswell, but most things they're advertising aren't actually at -40%, whereas the Autotech one was everything except LSDs and coilovers

It's amazing how many deadbeats in the auto trade have no idea where reverse is in anything except a rice rocket or commonwhore!

I never leave my cars with anyone. If I need tyres fitted I just pull the wheels off at home!!

Go and kick the guy up the date, then twice in the nuts and demand some money.

Which bits are busted Stu? I might be able to help out.

Jarrads wreck probably has the bits too.

they already were my bits! haha stu came round before and told me about this. he'll just fiddle with them till they're right. even then, they'll still be mk 1 linkages!

EDIT: I played around with tailgates, and some rust work. tidied the garage too.

[Peter Jones]

Might need some linkage bushes too, I think I've still got a few to spare.
