mmmmmm I wish!!

Unfortunately after the bodyshop bill, and paying for a stag do I'm going on I'm officially poor this month :w00t: So the rest of the parts I need to finish it are going to have to wait for a while..... :sad:

But still there's plenty to get on with! And while I'm locked away in the garage (with my rubber mallet, not any sort of plug TC :tongue: ) I'm not spending any money :grin:

Ready by Sunday afternoon then :grin:

What's wrong with working though the Friday night, to get it ready for sat morning.......

I remember when I was changing my Dutton Phaeton engine from a 1.3 to a 2.1, I was going to the coast for a weeks holiday that weekend. So had to work though friday night to finish it, as it was booked in for a rolling road tune early sat morning before we left...... Ah the days when motoring projects were cheap....I remember them well........

Anyway keep up the work mate nearly done..... and remember the Devils in the Detail, so don't rush it and get it right first time..... It's an awesome feeling first time you drive a new project.....

Thats what I keep telling myself. I'm not going to rush it and it will be done properly first time! Even if it takes me a while..... :nugget:

For anyone wanting to see the pictures my good friend James has set me up a website. It needs some work and I will be adding to it as and when I get time. But if you fancy a look it's appropriately called

wow it takes forever to go through 6 pages to get updated on the project. Looks flippin sweet and diggin the Kawasaki Green. Goes well with the pimp purple roll cage. :tongue: Can't wait to see it finished. I'm still working on getting a mini. Just can't live on the coast without air conditioning. ;) It's the only thing that's pointing to a no with the mini right now.

Have fun with it and don't kill yourself ;)
