Will get the mag and have a looksee

 

[sarkymarky]

I'm a lorry driver so i get a lot of time sat about doing nothing whilst I wait to be loaded/unloaded so gives me plenty of time to catch up.
And plenty of lonely nights in layby's.
Think I might have to go and buy a copy of the mag for the first time in about 20 years, I'm over 40

 

[Mike R]

Haha ooh i see.. Theres nothing wrong with being over 40 and buyin the mag

[oneofthetwins]

ooofftt superb mate hats off !

 

[MarkWales]

did you take the car onto a farm in looks photoshopped

 

[Mike R]

Yeh i actually went to the farm, nothings photoshopped, they just played with the lightness by the looks of it as my seats are a lot brighter in person..

 

[Mike R]

Sooo been having trouble with my rear calipers, took them off to be painted to find someone had cross threaded one bleed nipple in, and the other one sheered off as i went to undo it which meant they both had to be redrilled and tapped, now the chap who done it tapped them to a fine thread and put in to new bleed nipples...so i painted them. Sorted i thought, oh no i went to nip the nipples up and they just kept going round and chewed up the threads he had done... so i them finally found some courser nipples m10 x 1.5 and thought they may tap themselves in, which they did at first then again they have just chewed it up....

Looks like ill be buying 2 new rear calipers.. Not what i needed as i had the money set aside for somethin else

Also had to smash my injector seats out of my inlet before they would powder coat it, just hope the new ones screw in ok..

On a brighter note, rocker cover and charge pipe are back from the powder coaters and i fitted them yesturday

 

[Mike R]

Rocker cover and charge pipe fitted...Inlets back wednesday so will fit that then.. also all my hoses shall be here next week, so the bay will look very different

Excuse the crap pic!
