Think i have a pic of the pans, will post it later, def gone on the back at drivers site (battery).
Section of channel i could see looked ok but i'd expect the worst.

Didn't check if engine was turning, i'll ask him and get back to you.

this car plus shane's shell equals one pretty cheap, pretty quick, pretty easy project...

Very good point ... now you got me thinking:wallbash:

Shane, you still looking for that bonnet?

Careful now........

Your addiction is showing, takes one to know one! I've been thinking of that shell for Gzr LOL, but I'm doing well, I have to take it one day at a time an keep up with my aircooled anonymous group sessions!

So true …. i missed last months AA meeting which explains that momentary lapse.
Can’t afford the €550 to buy the car let alone the €€€ to fix it, quick look in the shed last night reminded me that I’ve enough rust buckets to keep me going for a while.
