Bluebear Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Good to hear that one more item is ticked off! Will be a shame to see it go if that is how things pan out. Then again, you've had the car for over 8 years now? Edited October 14, 2012 by Bluebear Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nanglebadger Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 cheers gents.no boosting yet, alan was very specific about that. being off the road for over a year, and sat on stands for the last 4 or 5 months, boost wouldnt have been too clever for her, she saw maybe 0.5 bar tops but pretty easy driving, no full beans.we'll see about getting it moved and putting a few miles on it before opening the taps. the brakes are non-existent right now, so i wouldnt want to be doing anything too spirited in her yet.Next is move it, then Joel and I will set to work wiring in the gauges.Phil.

Chris Green Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 This is a great read, has kept me entertained the last few mornings on the train. Some amount of work and progress mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 thanks Chris. all come to a grinding halt recently, needs a lot of work done, it might get there some day and see the road again. Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Green Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I know the feeling, I had to stop my build for about 6 months until I got some more monies gathered together. I hope I sees the road soon - will be worth the wait! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xpect Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I know that feeling too. Not finding a job and keeping people waiting for money is really frustrating and embarressing for me, because I don't like to keep people waiting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
