Jeeeesus, 4.2 sec. I had now idea it would be that quick. That has made me relax slightly about haveing a 20 year old lump under the bonnet.

Hi Ginge
Just been reading your build diary.... looking good so far!!!

If it weren't for the fact we only had a new baby arrive a week ago I think I would be getting my board marked up as well but probably not the best timing for me at the moment, busy cleanning up sh1te and puke

Good luck with your build and I'll keep checking in progress

Matt

All right Matt

Ah those days are just a distant memory.

My Mrs would have a fit if she knew I was giving relationship advise and on second thoughts I’m not going to!

You work it out and let us know how you are getting on, all the answers are here.

Where are you in the country?

Yes keeping the better half on side is a good thing.

You are 2 hours away, I am waiting for a builder close to me as my Mrs is starting to get board hearing about my welding antics and bands saw blades that won’t go on the band saw, etc.
