Don't you think its a little too tall Al?
Title: Re: i love pnutbuttersammiches!
Post by: FiEND on August 12, 2008, 04:41:54 AM
thanks... yep a little too tall, settled down a bit though now that it is on all 4's. will be a reasonable height once the springs settle.  how did your do Robin?  any settling yet?

My springs seem OK.  I am jealous of your new front axle tho... I tore my 30 up pretty good this weekend.

i'm so happy, got to drive my baby today.  wiggly and wobbly and poor brakes and starter kicked the bucket sometime in the past 6 months but she went.  a few things to clean up and weld up and fix up and align up .... but driveable for short break in periods and now there is room to clean out the garage.

was getting dark so only got one picture before test driving it.  will post more later on.

You definately take the most accomplished (improved) apprentice of the 07/08 season award Al.

Not sure what your prize is, but I'll think of something.

Unfortunately we were forced to revoke Al's award due to gross negligence on the recipients part.

It now goes to first  runner up Dom Friggon.

This sounds like a good story. Al it sounds like you step on the line in a race and have had your medal revoked.  lets hear the storey?
