Good work
Hope Tim doesn't scratch your new paintwork

 

[PaulJL]

it cant be avoided but its easier to paint it before he wedges 6.6l of Ford V8 in there

 

[PaulJL]

so tonight's job is to secure all the wiring etc ready for its piggy back

 

[PaulJL]

all set!

 

[Panky]

Will be a little but fuller next time you see it

 

[PaulJL]

unlike my bank account

 

[Panky]

Dig a deep hole and throw all you cash in

 

[PaulJL]

another big hole?

 

[Panky]

Ah but you cant see the bottom of this one

 

[PaulJL]

lucky I live in a mining area then, lots of pre dug pits.

 

[PaulJL]

she came out.. Just! The suspension hadn't lifted as much as I thought it would phew.

 

[PaulJL]

need to modify the door frame lol

 

[PaulJL]

she is on the truck ready for tomorrow's road trip

 

[Panky]

Full report is required
May be ready for Tatton yet, you've got two weeks how long do you need

 

[PaulJL]

lol. Martin reckons Tatton 2017!

 

[PaulJL]

well she is with Tim. Fingers crossed...

 

[Panky]

I do hope the rest of the engine will be as shiny as the carb, or are you just going to dirty the carb up to match

 

[PaulJL]

the electric water pump, ally heads and rocker covers are polished too... Might have to paint the block a nice bright colour... Or as you say, rub some grease into the shiny bits.

 

[PaulJL]

there is a big space in my garage

 

[Panky]

Paul shuffles listlessly around the garage, hands in pockets, head hanging down. Treading an aimless path around the dust free rectangle where his lost love once stood, drips of oil like dirty tears stain the cracked concrete and the faint smell of petrol and paint tease his senses. A sound pricks his ears, his eyes widen as he turns to look but no it's just a passing bin lorry - she has gone ................ and he is lost
