would you not prefer to be working for an engineering company, qualifications aside, I am sure someone will take you on with these skillz!  :smiley:

Nothing wrong with Netto, he could be branch or regional manager for all we know.  Even if he's the trolley boy there nothing wrong with that provided he's happy and it helps him maintain his lifestyle choices.

had a bit of spare time so finshed the oil return off ,
first shaped the pipe

then knocked a hole in the sump

grineded dowty washers to fit flush

fits a treat

deciede to chop into the block slighty reason is , i know the driveshafts runs close , so had to make sure
poped a run of weld around it

made sure the sump was free of fileing and dirt , (thinners sorts the job out)

job sorted ,,

she will soon be spooling again ,guys
