What's the plan now mate. You're in a terrible position. Your friend and engine builder is in hospital, you need an engine. With the best will in the world he's going to be out of the game for months surely?

I'm in a shit position ..its looking like having to wait out the time til its comfy to ask the family if I can get into the Garage for my engine ..i have another engine builder that's come to the rescue ..yea I'm never in doubt my mates coming home in the near future ..i just don't want to give the impression ive gave up in him when I havnt if you get what I mean mate .

My thoughts and prayers are with my mate at this very time .

Sorry to hear about your friend...his life and health are far more important than an engine...wish him a speedy recovery...is he a member on here to?

Good luck with the project, as you know I kept a close eye on your old thread...and I been saying it for ages, but I need to get my build thread up and running asap lol!

BTW where are you hosting pics now? Mine are still visable from Photobucket but I dunno how long for? I noticed the other day they took $29.99 and my pics still work?
