x2, why? No shit Nostradamus, he's interested in what's happening with the car he had for years, why is that surprising? Car looks good anyway Jack, though I concede - I thought the Rat had way more cred. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

flying home tomorrow morning and i cant wait to get back into it, decided the other day that im going to hide the fuse box in the cabin, looking at just making one long rail for the fuses and relays and having it right up the back behind the aircon ****. also while im at it im hiding all the wiring under the lhs guard and then iv only got a few more little things to do before the motor and box can go in!!!
