I'll have to a bit of work to get them in but hay...it would be boring then.

I also put paint stripper over marcia motor and box and will let it set over the next week and will flick it off next week.

Marcia (the Van) had some underlay glued down in the cabbin so out come the chisel and once the apprentice decided he had finished playing the Wii he also got his hands dirty

Very nice Gaf , period Australian Bling .... I used to look at the Stratos Ad' in the car mags in the early 80's and drool over them (and the girls) .

Nothing on the big mini's but did more modifying on the 1:24 Tamiya Manton mini and got frustrated at parts of it that aren't right but I can't fix (can't remove the hydro lines cast into the boot floor ....) .

Mr A.Grinder and I spent some quality time with NAV's engine bay over the weekend. Got some paint out and put a splash around the engine bay and I think it came up really nice. I drew my inspiration for a black engine bay from Kirsten (tips hat in her direction). I'm still waiting on parts to arrive that I ordered on monday. fortunately I have a long weekenf this week and I'll be getting the engine back in with any luck.

I apologise for the poor quality but white paint with black in full sunlight don't seem to mix very well.

I always get depressed every time i have to write a list of things to fix, i'd just say bring it back when it works like it should

Played with the timing on 4myego's 1360S. At 30°BTDC total as when we built, it was running a bit rough so I knocked it back a couple of degrees. Runs nice now.
Must buy me a dialback timing light soon, like Aaron has...:mrgreen:
