I'll just chuck them back in the at moment but my aim is to come up with some sort of quick release system like on some of the new people carriers so they can be whipped out in a few seconds. That way I'll be able to use it for my daily tasks as a van but if we have an open day or public rides with SLROC, I can fit the seats in a jiffy

Well done Nick.

I've just purchased a set of gauges for the oil pressure, battery and boost. These tend to br the things to worry about with regards to reliability so will be fitting them this weekend.

Brian, I've already got a set of gauges to go into mine but haven't fitted them yet as I was stumped on where to put them....... where are you putting yours?

I am going to buy a 3 way gauge pod off eBay and mount them on the dash by the airbag.

I already have a poorly installed boost gauge screwed there with boost pipe and switched live so most of the work is done.

I just need to feed the oil switch wiring through somehow.

I'm just booking the accommodation (with your help) and then collecting the money.

More the merrier as far as I'm concerned (will make it a little cheaper for all as well

)
But if you are coming the sleeping arrangements will need sorting.
All the history with who is sleeping where has been lost when the server went down.
I'm already top un tailing, so who can remember whose sleeping where?

BTW I need to pay the balance by next Tuesday so will need your all monies cleared in my account before then. (all deposits rec'd thanks).

Nick (£31.16 left to pay)
Dan (Nicks brother) (£31.16 left to pay)
Stu (£31.16 left to pay)
Matt (Paid in welding materials)
Chris (£31.16 left to pay)
Dan (£31.16 left to pay)
Mikey (£31.16 left to pay)
Maz (£31.16 left to pay)
wangie46 (£62.32 left to pay)
Geoff (£31.16 left to pay)
Brian (£31.16 left to pay)

Thinking about changing the oil and filter in the autobox + getting some of my winter gadgets working (heated seats, screen, radio).

wangie46 · Sep 27, 2011
