    Fixed a fuel line failure on the top of the fuel tank (return line) which I may add is a dog without the access to a hoist.

    Got in the post heater slider and new dash bulbs, so the dash should be back together tomorrow with the heater being able to be turned on AND off...

    Well now that I've recovered I might have a go at cleaning it and adding a sticker or two. Breaking out in a sweat just thinking about it

    Seriously, it's inspiring to see you lads taking on jobs like brake upgrades, ball joints and the like. Just wish I had the time, skills and space to tackle some of that myself (and a second car to tool around in while doing the work).

    Hey, it's not that hard...I manage to fit it in b/n working full-time , 2 small kids and a wife, not to mention life's other demands...
