    vaughan..... its what i do.. :cool:

    i believe as there was a bolt missing on the bottom of the cross member on the drivers side it had enough flex to weaken over time...

    besides that I honestly have no idea.

    Finished the plenum pull on the engine so that is ready to drop in. Engine bay has another 30mins of sanding then I shall put it in primer tomorrow. This time next week expect the engine in and it back on the ground looking sexy again.!

    What happens when you need to check/change a fuse?

    Remove front bumper???

    Now that the ball is rolling again, keep it going.

    I had 20mins to kill before my lift last night came..... So I painted the engine bay and put the engine back in...

    I think its pretty sexy lol?. A lot of bits to go back in to cover a lot of the green? you know how much chrome is going in ;)

    There are a few bits on the paint that I need to redo? But they are all easy to get to as is? I really need to get this project moving as I?m just loosing interest too face and need to move onto the next stage....

    The paint was really holding everything back since I needed it painted to put the upper camber arm brackets on so I could put it back on the ground to bolt the fenders on and finish the front bar?.

    The plan now is to finish putting the box and drive line on.. (when it arrives) and the exhaust? drop it back on the ground, bonnet back on and to finish the body work? should only take a day or a few nights after work to get all the engine bits back together? can?t take that long can it? lol

    for 1 its ETA retard lol

    Dunno.. now the engines in all that stuff will be done pretty quick.. but then I will have to make the front bar, remould the fenders... tidy up the rest of the kit then paint the whole thing... so a good month I'd say.. be pushing it for my show but maybe... really depends how much effort and time the lady friend lets me have to myself lol
