white90 Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 A credit to you and James for the work you completed and the standards in the Time frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I just did the niff naff and trivia jobs. With a bit of brain storming thrown in. James did most of the tech work. I wasn't that good. I took all afternoon to fit a tank guard . I won't say to much, will let the owner do a photo report if he see's fit. Weeble. Tea??? You must be joking. Felt like he was still doing his old job and I was a new boy. Not even time to get tea or lunch Tony I take it when you went out there he had solved his bird problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

white90 Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 No he delivered a door from Simon for me Thanks again Simon far better than I expected.

BogMonster Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I wasn't that good. I took all afternoon to fit a tank guard . Don't get too cut up about it, I took about six months to fit mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will_warne Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 JST will supply pics which unlike the vapour builders actually done what he said he'd do Well, I've never said I was going to sell up Tony - that would be weakness All credit to James he has done a fabulous job getting a build done in a very short space of time. He did, however, have a tight deadline which always focuses the mind. I've not yet actually failed a time objective although that will change in 16 days time. I think once James starts posting up some of my secrets will be well and truly out of the bag..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ101 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 No he delivered a door from Simon for me Oh hum,, cough ! Funny enough,, heard all about the time to get the guard on,, Just the cooling to sort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 In my defense. Having got 1/2 the bolts in the other 4 needed drilling out. With the tank guard in place and me sat on the floor between said guard and the axle tube there wasn't a lot of space to work. And I use that word lightly like I always do . We both had out strengths and weaknesses when it came to certain aspects of the build and we utilised them and the time to very good effect. Will, break silence and own up to your new build. That way as it's a new build which surely must come with a new deadline . Tim Cooling??? Thought he had that covered?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will_warne Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Will nigh on 2years is pushing any boundaries surely Custom everything, not a huge amout of money, various logistical problems and some time issues (lack of) have slowed me down. But yes, it has been too long!!!! Walfy - I'll release a few details soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 there wasn't a lot of space to work. And I use that word lightly like I always do Which word, Walfy - space, or work - not a lot of either when you are around!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WALFY Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 As far as I'm aware there are NO pics of either me or James. But I'll gladly be proved wrong, like I usualy am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 well last mon it looked like picture one due to the rust and now its better again, dont have a pic though but it looks the same as before just with New Bulkhead new Chassis new loom td5 dash new engine new gearbox new air intake. Couldnt of done it without Marks help with all the tricky bits, thanks you. we had a rolling chassis with engine in by Mon night, tue saw bulkhead on, wed tub was on, thur cage went in, Fri and the rest of this week (finished lunch today) was loose ends, wiring, ARBs, console, air intake, exhaust etc etc. so total 168 man hours for the last bit of dismantling (4hrs) and then the rebuild. Many thanks to Weeble for welding my exhuast (well the good bits on it the other bits were my efforts!) and the cage mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
