nice fat earth strap :D

all went well till i took it for a test drive, and forgot to tighten the wheel bolts! blox, this then called for a new hub which was either ?103 from vauxhall or free from a scrapyard - bargin, but that will teach me.

still havent got round to building the new engine tho, mainly because i cant get the crank cog off! any ideas, tried the screwdrivers, hub puller (but doesnt fit) and even tried vauxhall, but they said they broke there 'tool' years ago... help
