If I didn't have 2 24v conversions onthe go Mick I would pop up. I am working on the moordoor Sunday (today) as I want to tax it end of the month.

[magpie]

time to make a start today i think,well after this coffee any-way lol.

[Dezzy]

I am out myself in a bit.

Good luck mate. I have got crappy finishing off jobs. At least you should see proper progress by latter on.

[magpie]

oh yes !!!!

remember to fit the thrust bearing first time when fitting the box Kids ,i spotted it on top of the tool-box just before fitting the donk with the box attached wake up mick

finally got the box refitted and the zaust fanimould bolted up and strapped up for the angle of dangle



good use of a small trolly jack on the box to level the job up as i lowered into place.[removed steering linkage ]
a bit of jiggling and swearing and it's home





bolted the box to the floor and got all the toys away before it pixxed down with rain,not much left to do now so a couple of beers are in order i think

cheers for the encouragement to do it on me own, it got me motivated

[Dezzy]

Top job Mick.

I only have bleading and wiring to do now. I fooking had wiring!

[Alex]

well done

[spook]

Well done Mick, rain whats that?

[magpie]

cheers lads i'm now that parts done,looks like rain till tuesday now

and i can't fire it up until i get the top half of the inlet back but i'm in no rush now the big jobs are done i can get on with the wheels again

were getting there.

[leeparkes]

Its a relief when its in aint it

Last swap i did i had the wife controling the hoist
may aswell of been on my own, she stormed off in the end

Easy bits left now Mick.

[magpie]

i cant lie m8 i did get her hands dirty on the final lower part while i sat it on the mounts,then i ate all the sunday dinner she had prepared earlier.what more do you need

[magpie]

started to box things up today,i forgot to put the clutch slave cylinder on last time so a quick lower of the g/box and that was done,then bolt up the prop while the box was lowered.all that's left underneath is the heat shield and zaust.
i got some engine bay work done,well the loom all plugged in and back across the bulkhead,plugged in the coil pack and a few other odds and sods,just waiting for the top half of the inlet which i pick up on sunday and it should be running on monday

i need to get on with the wheels over the weekend,they are still looking unloved



half way through doing a bit,

[magpie]

made a start on the centre caps yesterday,loads of salt pitting

[Alex]

looking good, i was hoping for a Lucida to come hertling past me on the way home

[Dezzy]

Manifold looks good mate!

Maxxis are ok too. For a budget they are about the best.

Stop messing about with them RG's and get them coated.

[Alex]
