i saw your car down at old skool today, what are they doing to it?

New everything, well whatever needs replacing thats rusty and a respray. Is yours down there too?

[maggies_minder]

nah (thankfully) but over the last couple of years ive practically lived there

im down there a fair bit asking for help and bits.

i used your car today actually to get my f/g dash lined up. i used your top dash rail mounting holes to draw on my dash.

when are you expecting it back?

[MJWarren]

Not too sure what state did it look in when you saw it? i think its been there more than 2 months now

[maggies_minder]

Got some new bits for my gearbox today, got a cross pin diff casing and putting some good condition second hand gears in as apparently at the moment suppliers are having trouble with the gears being tight.

Also got some sccr gearsand some sc drop gears ready to build up my gearbox.
