There's a chap not half a mile away who has expressed an interest.  :D

Well, what ever floats your boat, it a very liberal society these days  ;D ;D :y
Though its generally sheep around here.  I reckon the Welsh must have invaded a century or 2 ago.

Mrs TB said the Battlebus was a bit shitty to start this morning, both at home and at Tescos.  Hardly surprising seeing as it has half a glowplug that might sometimes work ;D

So given that, I though it probably used more electricity than 2 x 2 miles journeys put back in it, so its now plugged into the mains again ;D.

When thats done, I'll shove the dehumidifier in it, as its damp from the other day when we were in and out in wet coats doing our other weekly chores around town.

My car permanently smells of damp dog, towels, my coat and shoes, etc. I might clean the inside one day, or I might not. I've just put it through the up and over, which got rid of the mud on the parts the brushes actually touched.

I could give it to the Romanians up the road to clean the inside when they re-open. But I think I might be too embarrassed  ;D

Got the first stainless primaries mocked up on the spare donkey.


Intermediate flange on RHS, is to allow manifold to be fitted with the engine insitu.
Reality is that is pretty unlikely given the space available to get to the manifold studs, and it will probably be easier to
drop the engine in and out with manifolds fitted.

Nice bit of plumbing that  :)
so the pipes are all the same length ? (sweep up on 5 & 6 ) to balance all the output ?
I don't know much about custom exhaust fannymolds

Shiny, but looks like it's going to foul the bulkhead on the passenger side :-\
