sheepers

yea that's a good idea, if you bury it about 500 deep and pack the soil tight around it you'll be golden. 

mint, cheers.

where did you get it/what brand/is it a decent tool?

been keen on one of those linishers for a while but never got one.....

Fuck, id own one of those. 

the MR2 one deff is. 

sw20 MR2 have a good one but they're  getting a bit hard to find now. 

We're still going to move to a larger place south of the city,  don't know where yet. 

"Why haven't you done anything on any of your cars for the last million years sheepers?"

Well,  I'm glad you asked. 

You see, we tried to sell the house and everything turned to shit so we had to re think many things. The end result of the combined thinking was that my garage got destroyed.

It has taken about 4 months longer than it should thanks to council and difficulty getting materials and people not doing what they said they would do but here we are. 

I've built a bedroom and bathroom in the garage. 

if your valve clearance is going to be close enough that the difference between torqued and non torqued gap is a deal breaker you got way more problems.

just assemble it and nip up the bolts, if you want to get super pedantic take 0.5 off your measurements (if you can measure a piece of plasticine that accurately)

you can host them on this site, just use the "Drag files or choose" option at the bottom of the text box. 

yea i cant see the pix either

I've been saying that for years tbh.

take it to Nick at Ron Wood auto electrical.

hes done heaps of them. 

in fact there's two in his yard right now for similar issues. 

Oh also, I forgot to mention that the award for most reckless use of a Valiant goes to Clint.

yea that was ace.

thanks Clint and also thanks Matt for setting up the BBQ and everything.

choice day.

oh and also avoided a speeding ticket on the way home, the joker in front of me got it. 

Not long now kids!

k33n.

trying to rope Nick the sparky into it as well.

also i have heard that the guys bending F1 exhausts in the 70s had a torch with a ring of flames coming out of a special nozzle so it heated all sides of the pipe at the same time.

never seen one or a picture of one so could be bollocks but whatever. 

it is WAY harder than it looks. 

having tried it on some small pipe i wasn't able to get a flowing bend of any description.

however, i was only using a small propane torch and i definitely didn't have enough heat. 

At this stage they've said it'll be another 7 months for the second one,  but once they get into the swing of making them it could be as little as 2 months each for the last 2.

I had one like that,  or one similar.

That's all I have to report
