over the last week i have been diddling and creating so thought i would bang a few pics up to show you.

next job on the list was to mock up a camcorder holder for the car as i refuse to pay the silly money expected for them. ?2 later and a very successful trial drive equalled this 8) ..

And finally the horrible job. After part of my manifold unwrapping itself i decided to redo the whole thing. What i didnt expect was to find 9 cracks within the manifold :( (but it is 8yr old and mild steel so done well). I took it to a mate who braized over the cracks so i could atleast get the summer out of it with some luck before a new one will be on order. Then wrapped it, the whole thing took 50ft of wrap with only one cut off of 6" remaining......
