i'l spend some time next week after hours cleaning up the engine

Lucky boy Trev

I've had two days in London on more training, and although I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute, I would have liked to have spent a couple of days on Grace or the Volvo instead. Maybe that way, one of them would be working?

That 'other' mk1 you emailed me was absolutely incredible by the way. Surely that must be inspiration for you?

im all inspired and things will move in the right direction now with help

its got to the point now i dont want to work and just spend my time with my babys (cars)

What do you mean - think you're losing it - that happened a long time ago;)

Nice progress by the way:)

sunday was a waste of time neither me or jamie could get our heads around working on cars so we went out for a drive to find some degreaser for the engine as the stuff i bought was crap and even that was a waste of time, so back to the unit several ciggies later jamie left, i thought i better do something and decided to take of the inlet manifold (bad idea) all going to plan then my hex head socket snapped in the hexbolt in the most awkward place , the whole afternoon was spent taking out the crappy bolt welding things to it etc.. but got there in the end , hoorah
after work today picked up some foaming engine cleaner and set about giving the dirty engine/box a clean up as it was minging and jamie would not let me fit it as it was.
its starting to look slightly better , gearbox is at least silver now anyway and not black
