    Vn_Luke came round last night. seems he is a bit bored now that he no longer has VNski, so he did what he normally does. make complete fkn sense, force me to clean **** up and get my act together.

    so last nigth pushed the pala onto the hoist and rigged up the zorst, tailshaft and trans.

    ive just plumbed up the front calipers. cant test for leaks till ive done the back, but its a step in the right direction. i need to make a few flares for the back and i HATE making flares, so might not do it tonight.

    got a couple of 90 degree rubber elbows to plumb up the heater core and a couple of barbs for the intake/waterpump, so i might move onto that next. not sure just yet, for now there is beer

    I think that pic should remove any doubts some had about the size of the rear rims and tyres.
