Pete-H 66 Posted July 21, 2015 Ah thanks for clarifying the painting scheme should look good. Will you be getting the garage at home extended to a three car garage or will one have to be out in the cold? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cortina-city 141 Posted July 21, 2015 Ah thanks for clarifying the painting scheme should look good. Will you be getting the garage at home extended to a three car garage or will one have to be out in the cold? green gxl has long term storage at my works unit. works on ruby undertaken at home and work. messy stuff at work clean rebuild after paint at home.

nascar66 74 Posted July 22, 2015 I was going to start a thread about your Swampy vids Pete. I'm glad they are long videos and that there are plenty of them. Just last Saturday I had them playing all day on my 40" TV whilst I was decorating. Really enjoyed them and I find them very inspiring. I like the way you talk through what you're doing and what you had considered doing. Keep it going. It's great stuff! And I'm picking up some tips to. I'm up to episode 30 of the Swampy vids. I even watch them on my iphone whilst doing a workout in the gym. 5 Stars from me!! I'm looking forward to the Ruby vids! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beowulf 87 Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) 'Theres more than one, i'll take em both' lmao. Great video Pete love the ads. You were about 1 mins drive from me at one point. I live in Ashton just off the motorway. The Pistons face one way too I think but your engine guy should be ok with this. The shells will all be replaced so its not worth numbering them :) probably the gudgeon pins as well so it makes sense to number the con rods too as you have done. P.S. congrats on getting the 2 door. :superman: Edited July 26, 2015 by Beowulf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
