Youve got plenty more, you wont miss one

Where you doing your engine Reck ??

[drjim]

He's doing the engine in my unit, unfortunately I was planning to be there all day next two days pottering about, doing Baur springs and brakes and sorting out all my stuff so tools etc were to hand. "Sadly" there's some problems at work so once again I will be going in to do a load of extra work starting tomorrow. Boyd will find the place and the lads will offload the engine, I will be available at the weekend for the scheduled engine swap, but I'll be trying to sort Baur springs/brakes at the same time.

It'll be fine I'm sure.

The chaps have cleared the way to the ramp though, so we should be fine!

[murran]

reck i need money more than beer. whatever you were guna spend on beer just gimme the cash!

i also forgot to ring partco.

[Reck]

No worries mate! Cash, beer, hookers you name it

You reckon you can get some flexi hose aswell or shall I sort that??

[drjim]

Engine delivered today, I was at work so haven't seen it. Spoke to Boyd on my way home from work this evening, he says the ECU casing is a bit dented after a wheel got dropped on it so he's posting a spare to me tomorrow AM just in case there are any problems with it.

Murran I may be hiring you to do my spring/brake fettling, while you are at the unit you should speak to Jason about that VW caravelle he wanted the engine doing on, I think he still wants it doing and is happy to pay for it doing. If you can do landys he has his 110 semi dismantled and a collection of series 2's awaiting fettling. I'll make sure he knows you are available for hire to do work on Sundays, as long as that's the case!

Be seeing you at the weekend chaps, have invited Alan (Creedon) down too as he lives about half a mile away. Arshad may drop in too - maybe we make it Northern Monkeys 2!

[Reck]

Nice! Looking forward to it. Went shopping last night and had to stop 3 times on the way back cause water was boiling out of the rad cap!

[rob0r]

I'm actually in the area tonight/tomorrow, but going to a wedding

[nas80]

[murran]

jim do you have a handbrake cable? mines just broken!

cant get that fuel line. ive tried/rung 3 places inc partco. they all just do brake pipe!

someone suggested wickes/b+q but i think they only do copper for central heating stuff.
