Post by: Ashmond on 21 August 2008, 22:15
She is back and driving, needs a few tweaks and still need to do the cambelt and waterpump but she is running and boosting. Overheatin a bit due to the waterpump and think I got to sort the airlock out.

I took the time to read through your thread the other day starting from the beginning. I can't believe the amount of time and effort that has gone into the car. To let it die would've been sacralidge. I'm glad you came to your senses!

I was just having a sensible one, due to the lack of job I had to sell my dvd unit to fund the repairs but I think it was worth it and I can get another one when I sort work out.

I would really love to make it to edition, it all depends on whether my mate Ben with the bolf can help me make it motorway friendly!

It woulda been a shame to see the car go.  I reckon that everyone has taken some inspiration from your DUB at some point during it's evolution :)

Have to agree with you all, it would have been a shame not to fix it. And I think you would have regretted it. Hows the job front lookin? Perhaps you'll have more luck coming your way after you fixed the car.

Cold air feed is in the passanger footwell and thats where its staying for a while.

Had a few bits and pieces on the job front, should be sorting something soon, thanks for asking.

Nice to know people have used my hard work as inspiration! :D
