karl and i have parted friendship , basically hes spat the dummy out over me selling up and no longer wants to be friends - its completely his decision , so let him get on with it



so with regards to updates your going to have to wait for daz to pop up and get pics or sumthing ,

k's a whizz with a welder , but not so savvy with photobucket ,


wish him all the best for the future


cant wait to see the car finished , im sure it will be immense

Righto folks after a text from spesh saying i should put some pics up here goes

the stuff he`s doing is bloody ace,nothing phases him,a problem is just something that needs a solution

you`ll have to forgive there isnt many i`m struggling putting pics from phone onto pc

i have more but its a ballache/takes ages putting them on photobucket so shall sort more


This is now fitted to...


...this



which now looks like this





also this is now this colour



spesh `broke` the throttle body



but he made up for it by making it look all posh `n` that



will run the t34 for now,its been rebuilt and tarted up with pucka hi-temp paint




gotta love a bit `o` billet



on the block



bought a billet drop bracket



wrong colour though so its been powdercoated



though when spesh fitted the aternator he refurbed it didnt work with the turnbuckle i made a few years ago,not a problem for the man in the north i am told



spose the bonus of RSty being off the road so long you end up finding good parts at good prices
