I'm looking forward to seeing all these top secret sneaky,snakey projects :).The bits I've seen online or heard on the grapevine sound really impressive.This years drag day should be real fun.I will be there,and not working in the Carribean as I thought as I'm leaving my job.Long story,but there is only so much shite a man can endure...;)

I'm having a quiet panic attack here thinking of all the work I have ahead of me before the big day...first time in about ten years we've decided to take two weeks holidays also this year so have a bare three weeks to go before then...ahhhhhh....


Have no brakes, no pedals, no glass, no electrics, no gearbox, no handbrake, no fuel tank, no guages, no tyres, engine is in Armagh and has never been fitted to the car and the body hasn't been reunited with the chassis in nearly three years....ahhhhhhhh :D

356 isn't in much better shape at the moment, not a good idea to be attempting work on everything...at the same time...

Is there time to do an IRS conversion on the ghia? Have the (IRS) gearbox to slot in once done but thinking I've enough to be doing between here and then...standard gearbox might not be up to much though I guess it'd be better to be there with a shite gearbox than not at all?

What to do...
