That's great work mate and the colour/kit looks great. Very similar to the look i'm going for :)

It's an awesome film, especially funny is the scenes with him and the bell boy and the warewolf scene :rofl: [YOUTUBE]1lex-Mvj9xU[/YOUTUBE]

Happy birthday buddy, hope you have a good one :D :duffer:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

NNNNNNNNNNOOoooOoooOOOOOOOOooooooooOOOOOOooooOooOoo

Do we get the guitar pick with the super duper expensive version too please? :D

Oh stop it pete that's like hacking someone's mother to bits and sending the arm in the post :rofl:

I might need one actually mate, that chevy's going ot be chucking out a lot of heat and that air filter needs some cold air so may have to lose the totally stock look and have some bonnet vents :(

Get "Asleep in the back" for starters then listen to "Cast of Thousands" (Fugitive Motel is such an awesome song) :D http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asleep-Back-Elbow/dp/B00005UUQO http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cast-Thousands-Elbow/dp/B00009NQZC/ref=ntt_mus_ep_dpi_lnk

Cheers mate, there's more work than i hoped there would be but all in all i haven't really spent that much time on it it's a case of saving the pennies to buy the bits in so i could make a start. Nearly there now, last shopping trip for the big stuff goes on next week for the top end gear (rockers/lifters/pushrods) then we're done and ready for the full engine build!

On my list of cars i'd like in the garage at some point especially the V8 :D

They're brilliant, seen them a number of times right from the start. A massive fan :D

Thanks buddy :D

Cheers guys, hopefully a bit more a meety update the next one. I'm gapping the rings this weekend then that's all the prep work done. Fingers crossed in two weeks i'll be building the engine at star motorsport and popping it in!

lol, the spoiler is gone as soon as i can afford to get rid :D I'm only keeping it there until i get the tommy kaira off the silver NA then me and pete set to work on a little project :D Cheers Stella :hyper:

Yeah it's getting there slowly but surely, i won't rest till that engine's in. Once it's in i'll be on the drive every night connecting pipes and wires :hyper: Can't wait to get it all polished up and started for the first time :D pmsl :rofl: that won't be the exhaust going on fingers crossed but you'll have to wait and see what it is.... ;)

Sorry guys, wanted to post up a bit more about what's been going on. Just had a run of bad luck really :( Firstly the belt broke on the compressor and i've been chasing around to find a replacement but unfortunately to no avail so going to have to buy a new compressor which has held me back a bit so i could clean the block ready to pop it in the car. Also managed to scratch two of the main journal bearings so have to replace the whole set at a cost of £80. So all in all £200 out of nowhere. In the meantime i've been busy restoring the paintowrk on the front wing and door and tonight fitted the new 99 spec lights which look much MUCH better :)

Wahoo, first fifth gear then the world! :hyper: Better get writing to top gear....

nope not daddy day care, think of a film with "men" and "children" in the title ;)

I got about 20-25 myself then the rest i had to cheat :headvswal

Is the stock zed box really more capable? Are there any figures on the torque it takes? T56 would be nice, i did think about that for the chevy but the 500 came up first for a very good price so decided it would be a bit more hardy than the T5

Just get a Tremek TK500 and make a bellhousing adapter. It takes 500 ft/lb of torque and they're about 2.5-3k that's what i'm using on the V8 and not heard a bad thing about them

Found a solution: Use firefox instead of internet explorer then when the page loads hit the esc key and this stops all animated gifs. TA-DA no more animation slowing you down! :hyper:

He said he'd had them made here by someone but not too sure who it was. Just been following that thread, christ it's taken me twenty mins just to get there. I will definately be ordering a set for the V8 :D

Well all i've had is bad reports for the weather today and from accuweather it says the forcast is rain at 4-5pm then it should dry off so fingers crossed it should be alright. I'll be there in the zed and my bro in the mini so see you there folks! http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=ashby+folville&sll=54.007769,-4.042969&sspn=13.612181,24.697266&ie=UTF8&ll=52.702226,-0.956079&spn=0.00171,0.003015&t=h&z=18&iwloc=A Nick
