Thats good... I was getting ready to drive over and "bash your head" against the wall to knock some sense into you. Glad I don`t need to now Ryan.
As already said, cover it up, do the work (it pays the bills) and then carry on when you/work/family are ready. Seem to recall I said that when I came over last year...keep it up pal.

Some serious thinking will be done over the next few days.
This is the gayest thing I've heard all month chin up n stick with it like others have said, would be daft to chuck in the towel now. Or do you want a towel to mop up your tears? Just kidding, you WILL get it done

It's nice to see my visit today has had a positive outcome, after all you didn't want a good kick up the **** from me after all.

Now get on with the more important jobs.

I won't mention what you people in 'deliverance' county get up to, but let's just say you can all swim well due to your webbed feet.

So after my really low spot it was time to lift myself back up again with a few purchases lol
First was as already said a roll cage,next was a WRC bonnet vent to be cut in front of the normal bonnet vent.
Lastly after getting hold of a genome boost gauge from Ty and it having just the normal type controller I see 'crazyspeedfreaks' was selling a genome one and after a bit bartering a deal was struck so I now have the right contoller to go with the gauge












Oh I almost forgot I went and saw the metal master Bennet and after a little chat I now have a uber trick power steering cooler being constructed!!!!!!

All in all I'm back in love with my old girl now and can't wait to get the new stuff and get cracking some more!

So another picture came through from Matt and amazingly the metal master has already finished the PAS cooler.
As per usual his work is second to none and I can't wait to go over and pick it up so I can get the brackets welded onto the space frame tube at the front to mount it too!!

So with Ty changing his rcm 340 LPH pump for a walboro 450 and it not being very old I've decided to swap out my hrc one for it which will act as a very good lift pump for the swirl pop.
Ty you the man......again,cheers mate

Had a bit of a go at her today with Ross(thanks mate)
Got all the fuel rail lines completed along with fitting the breather pipes back to the RCM catch tank.
Fitted the little samco's on the modine with new lower pipe.
Shaped up the adapter I had made for the PAS pump to allow dash union fitment.
Fitted the O/S turbo water feed pipe and lastly made a start on fitting the check valve into the line between pump and filter.
The decision has been made to run a fuel cooler as well which will be situated underneath the flat floor on the return line at a 45' angle,the decision was made easier with already having a brand new mocal cooler.
On that note as usual a few more unions are now required for that and the PAS cooler set up at the front plus some M5 bolts to hold the distribution block down
