Erm not this year mate, or next year but may b the year after. I hav a lot of work to do and not much time. Carnt wait tho mate.

Hey - I recognise those coilovers! ;) Good to see it still coming along nicely, mate! Looks a top-notch job you're doing there - Good to see our cars getting some TLC.........

Yes bud i bet u do recognise them. Lol. How r u mate??? I hav painted them up and they look spot on. Its getting there slowly. I am after some discs front and back now, aftermarket ones. Then i can put all the brakes back on and start sorting engine out.

I'm good thanks, mate! Bought myself a boat a couple of montha ago, so have neglected the poor zed (well, not taken the old girl out!) since then whilst I'm getting it ready for the mooring. I thought those coilovers were looking much more than just cleaned - Excellent job! I bet you can't wait to get her finished (although it helps that the crappy winter weather is here, now!) and onto that tarmac for her maiden run..........

A boat???? A bit random mate! Ya but dont forget about the zed. They r the future mate. I cant wait show mine some tarmac. R u goin the zed bash???

I'll never forget the zed - She's my baby! ;) Fancied a boat for years, but the zed sucked up the funds - I'll ge some pics up at some point - She's a beaut (At least I reckon!) I can't wait to hit that sea - Especially when the summer comes around again (one day!) I feel I have acheived something by finding vehicle thirstier than the 300 - With a 4.3 litre engine and the equivalent to 3-4mpg!! That's the reason I won't be going to the zed bash - It's going to be expensive for me until about March. I'm definitely planning on JAE next year, though - When d'you think you'll have the car ready? I'm really looking forward to the completed project!

I like boats mate but its more toys and the wife will go mad. Lol. Shame u not going mate but i might go JAE???? The zed will be ready in a couple of years mate. Got loads to do. All good fun . Money and time

really good thread. wow.

What sort of boat have you bought then bud? If its a petrol 4.3 (Mercruser??)

you can get a LPG kit for it. More than likley it will be an Impco system.

I have been running my ski boat on lpg for over ten years. 43p a Lt at the moment:0)
