I need help from anyone who is willing :-X ::)

The list is growing, although I'm hoping to tick off a big chunk of jobs in the next few weeks :y

Always willing, but can't provide location or tools.

Bah, its really not necessary to be that accurate with the plasma.

I don't think you're really up to it or need anything else going on at the moment! But thank you :y

Yes you could but really not that urgent at the moment... Thanks :y

Towards end of the month works if you can do weekdays :y

Weekdays are no issue Al but, as above, mostly not too bad.

Hopefully our resident suspension expert and I will be meeting up in the next few weeks to tick off all the suspension work plus a bit more. Then it's just cambelt (7k time), stat (although it's been behaving itself lately), cam cover gaskets and AC condenser to go. Plus a handbrake service (probably do that whilst doing the suspension), geometry, tyres and a damn good clean!

The other one is a little better.... Need to pull the dash out and replace the blown/removed EML (don't you love pre-cat codes!), find why the radio has no reception, see if I can get the cdc3 working and get the drivers heated seat fixed!

They both need to be gone over thoroughly with underseal and mine will very soon need a new exhaust! It's never ending... Why did I buy another one? :-X ::) :D

Is Mark wearing his 1970s glam rock boots again or is the bloke in the background sitting down ::)

I do have a jig for the hole cutting but on the car its pretty challenging to use so I found hacking a smaller hole and then neatening the edges up worked better, you might just be able to make out the black marking on the steel for the hole required.

The boss welding issue should now be addressed as I replaced the shade in the welding mask at the weekend so can see again properly.
