bout the lanch control, oh well, i only innitially wanted a rev limmiter, but for an extra few quid it would be rude not to get lanch control too :proud:

Loverly story pie, can wait to get back into worcester sooooooooon. I remember trying to keep up with him down the lanes on the way back to malvern once - ;D no chance!! Ur gonna ave to get urs out because we'll be down a mini or two whilst rodgers gots the escort and navyseal's is bosted.


Made a bit of progress last weekend, but not much worth writing about. This weekend i've started the rear subby. Today i got it off and the radius arms off, it's pretty much bare now - EXCEPT 4 bloody bolts that i sheared!! They where the ones holding that bracket on the end of the radius arms, one on one side, three on the other :unsure: Also the big pin thing on the one side won't come out because its rusted in place. So tomorrow is going to involve several drill bits and a damn big hammer!! Fun awaits! :'(

Pics to follow after the weekend.....

:proud: as nice as it is, i'd never buy that thing - he gives it death!! only thing i'd buy it for is to take the nice bits of it hehe

Well i thought i'd report back on the progress.

The subframe is shot, so i'm gonna be gettin a new gen one during the week - this is not good!! i did not budget for this, i've already spent all my money on toys - My bad  :w00t: 

I've cleaned up the radius arms and all the drum related gubbins, and they've all be painted white. At the moment its all a really clean pearl white, but i'm hoping that after a few weeks it'll all stain and become a nice dirty old english white kind of shade - rally styleeeeeee :w00t:

Also started cleaning up the under the car, and poked a couple of small rusty holes in the heal board, this is also something i didn't budget for. The only cosilation is that its only one small hole on one side (about the size of a pen hole) and two on the other side (about the size of a penny). But now i gotta find a portable welder that can come to my hooose next week to fix it.

Tryin to think of quiet jobs to do now, because i got a stonking headache (strictly a MAN headache tho) Its my own fault i shouldn't ave told the lads i was back in town this weekend and i definatly shouldn't ave let them drag me out last nite :(
And it doesn't help using the wire wheel in the boot - it makes a horrible noise at the best of times, but sticking ur head in the boot with it - my god it hurts!!! :w00t:

I got lots of pics, but cant upload them on this silly computer, so u'll have to wait till monday when im back at uni :w00t:

OH - seeing as i'm paintin the underneith, engine bay and subframes all white - in rally styleeeee - i'm thinking of painting inside the boot white too - what do you peeps rekon? im a bit scared of making the car look like a zebra tho?
