Im changing my cam soon so you can have the old one outa mine if you want?

You can get somewhat of an idea in your head of how things will look but yeah it definately helps seeing it on paper!

Mines goin slow but yeah its getting there man... got my diff and front end in and the rust is nearly done :D

I should still be there now, i never went :cry: :cry: :cry:
Blew my arm out in the schoolboys tournament two weeks before i was due to leave..
Had to go under the knife, still early days but its looking good for a decent recovery. Get to see the video of the surgery tomorrow! Should be good :shock:

I dont blame ya! if i played for Kelmscott I'd have to drink myself silly too hahah :lol: :lol: :wink:

Yeah you could try, after seeing the video its just some basic tools that are needed......
You will require: A scalpal/stanley trimmer, a chisel or bolster, gimpy, pliers/sidecutters, a screwdriver, angle grinder, power drill, die grinder, bit of pelvis bone, a hamstring tendon, a steel plate, 10 of zeniths finest screws and a staple gun... ohh and a shitload of morpheine for later on :shock: :shock: :D


On a serious note :roll:
The cams only gonna go in the bin otherwise man

And keep up the progress, its lookin goooood!

time to pull my finger out me thinks... no real updates minor things are being done hopefully march is a good month...

i am contemplating the smooth custom fin extenders i think they will suit... i have sent him a pm but not sure how often he's on here (only sent it today) but if im correct he has been injured or not well :?:

anyone know if there still available?

also anyone know a good source of metal pipe with a 3" ID with a wall thickness of a few mm? only need about 200mm to French the front indicators...

Yes it IS time you pulled your finger out - use Harko's 20 minute rule 8)

I have some leftover 3" exhaust pipe from the Chev , that might do the job ??? Will measure the ID tonight.
