 Yeah, ........

I might have a lead on some MT 30's for the rear of our car which if we ran 28's on the front would give us an extra inch of ground clearance over the whole length which might make Omeo doable for us.Then we'd also need a re-gear to a 3.08 or more.....otherwise we'd be shifting out of second and pulling the chute.

Hey T'fer, I could have given the motor to the Clares yesterday, but it just didn't work out that way.......when they rang me they were already on the freeway and I was on number 2.

yeah, pretty sure.....

You , I already know, have too many motorbikes for me to listen to your grammatical suggestions.Most other contributing factors are easy to understand( like not speaking english, having a brain injury, not having gone to school) but why owning motorbikes makes one a spellchecker of last resort is something I haven't yet sussed fully. wink

Hey, I went to school, year 4 was the worst 3 years of my life.

Went to Uni too, picked up a girl for a date, didn't work out though.
She kept using big words like Vegemite and Corugated-iron.

Hmm, then you narried a murse....... You're testing me out aren't you. rolleyes

Two R's in corrugated, usually anyway.

Alan Turing was failing English at school, he did alright though,.

OK. I dropped the frame off at the blasters today and after a discussion with the proprietor Sandrew I'm pretty sure I'l just paint the same way I did. Sandrew explained the "Kilrust" system I used is a nifty little concoction that 's particular secret is long molecule oils that dry slowly and stay flexible and fish-oil. A lot of the plate on the car still had mill-scale when I painted it and Sandrew explained that with a raw blasted finish the cold zinc will bond a whole lot better than it did before which will make the following red oxide and color coat that much tougher again.He was surprised at how clean the frame was, so the idea of using a 2pak epoxy has been considered and passed over due to the repairability aspect of the enamel.

We had a chuckle about powder coating. He will also finish the last parts of our exhaust in ceramic.

I had a nervous moment, like I always do......it's to do with changing ANYTHING on the frame because of the packaging problems, it's only at the last minute, and it's always the last minute when it's happening that you go to put something together and someone's neat little tidy up job has f*&%&^%&^@#$ something up..........
