Sparky Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Bargain Looking forward to seeing this progress Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jon5698 Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Well bit of an update off today, managed to get quiet a bit of the engine stripped down today. Removed the air con as that is not going back in, removed the dizzy, rocker cover,and brackets ready for painting. My uncle took some random pics of the work so far. Had to call it a day as i was getting pissed off with the weather, one minute it was sunny the next it was hail stoning. Going to make a start on the painting now. Mods feel free to move this over to the build up section. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
