I think we're somewhat over the 1 week target you originally set yourself here...

Dopey · Jan 19, 2013

zen · Jan 19, 2013

yep..boss wouldnt give me the week off he had promised..still better this way cos atleast its getting done and not costing me time off work money....and infact only done 2 days full work on her..so kinda on schedual..

fett · Jan 20, 2013

lol, well if your keeping it at least go p76 v8 so it looks and fits original but has 285 ftlbs as standard.

that looks like one of the 41/2 inch wire brush attachments work, I still have white finger from it lol but they work well where they fit.

Lucky he is letting you keep it in the workshop- is that a concession for no holiday?

A suffix C gearbox then mate? To be expected at that age.

PS when you sent the rear hoop/wiper down put the rest of the overdrive bits in too. Thanks mate.
