G-day all,

I managed to get a little bit done to the VL to day b4 it started to rain.......... So after the 1st attempt of going to put the diff in and failing (instead dropping it on my hand and putting me in hospital) my 2nd attempt was more successful, I got the Diff painted and while that was dryin i fitted my new cooler piping. She's coming together nicely now, only a few little things left. I also brought some little things which are a boost controller and a electronic turbo timer.
