Thanks Les ;)
The original plan was a procharger setup, then kids happened and... :roll:

At least i know the car will easily handle anything i throw at it and the potential is there to take a lot more!

Two things going on at the moment... progress is slow with both :?

Having made a good start last week with 3 solid days DA'ing and a day chopping out the rusty rear arch and making plates ready to weld in, my mate Danny then vanished and nothing's happened since Friday :(
I caught up with him last night and he promised to crack on today and over the weekend :thumbright:

Pic 3 shows the only real rust on the car so I'm pretty happy about that!

Matt has rushed me the letter I need for proving the car's age so I tried to get to Bangor DVLA on We. Because the only main road to Bangor was shut by a lorry on it's side, I got held up in massive queues and never made it in time.
So I went back this morning clutching my precious letter and was told I had to re-submit ALL the docs- I’d not brought these because they’d seen them already!
So I drive all the way home and back there again… This time it’s looking good.
They’ve given all the info to Cardiff again, so now I wait. Again :roll: :happy1: :help:

Nice work, well done.

I would suggest you upgrade those shafts though, if you start turning up the wick as they are only marginally better than stock ones IMHO.
