Hey Andy HOW YOU DOIN' :P
Poor me just can't seem to get his 1800 running right. I have narrowed it down to the accelerator pump linkages. The finest adjustment makes a
world of difference. So now I am fine tuning those, But apart from that He sure is running alot better since I first aquired Him.
And YEAH I'd love to come over and meet ANDY.
Got loads of Pics coming, The Pastell-White 2-Pac roof the waist job looks so damn good, I love it.
Just waiting for pics to be transfered from camera (not mine) to my comp.
They'll be here in next few days. CANT WAIT  |

Yeah I wouldn't miss it for the world.
I just hope your not asking if 'Kevin' is going to be there too. 'Cause He ain't. He is still about 4wks away from roadgoing
capabilities.
But then again from what the local Police told me all he needs is a Windscreen back in him and he's Roadworthy
Haha, just hope it don't rain!! |

I got the portable carport from Supacheap Auto. 6mx3m.
$199 reduced to $149 (so I snapped on up) as they were $149 for a short period only. Then they went back up to $199 then for one day only they were
$99. 
Here on the Sunshine Coast we get some strong winds and I was worried about rain getting in the sides but so far no rain has made it any higher than
the wheel arches. |

Hey guys (and girls)]
Can I post sound files on here 'cuase I digitally recorded 'Kevin's' Original muffler and then when I put the extractors on I
recorded it too.
Just thought I'd be cool so others could get a sample of what Extractors sound like. Well mild ones at least. Might save a few people sleepness
nights wondering, (hmmmm, extractors or girlfriend, mmmmmm, extractors or girlfriend) I DID :P |

When I bought 'Kevin' his dash was all cracked and wiring was hanging out everywhere, I mean everywhere. Previous owners had piggybacked
onto anything to get power. Well this doesn't look so crash hot now but if I only had the original setup to show as comparison.

Here is his newly rebuild Carbies, RH shown. I also wish I had original setup to compare with (won't be a prob from now on as I bought a Digital
camera of my own)
Take note of the shiny newly rebuild Main Throttle body, Had the main butterflies rebushed by a pro. Best $66 I ever invested into those carbies.
