The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 coming along nicely bud.Shit to see the engine came damaged, I'd be totally pissed if that arrived like that to me. Would get the seller to fund all the parts you've had to replace as why should you have to pay for it, and if it was damaged in transit, it should be chargable to whoever shipped it.Might have to take a blast up to inverness to see what starbo's are kicking about when mine is finally done! There many from up there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
