You wouldn’t be envious of the aches and bruises I’ve got Tonight after a day of wrapping myself up under the dash! Too old for this Bananarama! I’m getting…

Actually, I can identify with that.... It took me a bout 2 hours to clean up and re-flare the rear Brake line on the 'Cuda that a previous person had mullered up... A nice stretch in a confined space...

No, I might not, you’re right.

It’s worth it, though. You’d be bored if you didn’t have to spend half your life upside down.

Really dislike the cheap looking tin cover for the Pro Ratchet shifter. The previous Quick Click has what I consider to be a great bit of stylish yet no nonsense design. I've set about a redesign which fully covers the cable exit using the old cover as inspiration, not sure where I'm headed with it its a work in progress..

No I want to get rid of the bead rolling, I’ll probably end up making new sides or beat it flat somehow and take a mould off it.

Like the look of that. Can’t remember, have you got the console or have you removed it?

Originally a bench seat car Stu so it didn’t have a console.
Bit of a steering column rebuild/ lighten/ tosh up going on Today. Had to get a nylon bush spun up to suit the new hollow steering shaft.
