Pick one job at a time chris or you'll never get anything done.

Do the jobs on the exec as first priority, sooner that's done, sooner you can get it up for sale...

the exec needs a starter heatshiled (neo) and centre caps (neo), the oil wire, I could do it right, you know unwrap the loom after draining the coolant, but thats to much hassle.

I need to get it welded, it was gonna go to docs for that, but tbh I can get metal etc easier up here so he can brind the welder up when he comes up aftyer he gets the engine off of you neal.

in fact io need some bits, everyone go to the wanted section and if you have the bits let me know!

just one quick thing, the only ones i have found are the off colour ones, they are metal but darker than the alloys, are you ok with those or would u like me to dig deeper thru my old dots garage to get the right colour ones?

i think they look quite effective being a slightly diff colour lol
