Wahoooo! Wooden spoon! :D :D :D :D :D :lol:

Well, fitted the brake lines and braided fuel lines.... ....Then I thought I'd remove the clutch master cylinder as I want a new one. This obviously necessitates the removal of the brake servo unit. Not a problem as it needs painting anyhow. However it took aaaaagggggggeeeeessss to get the bloody thing off. Whoever put the nuts on decided to use joint sealer instead of thread lock.... Before I knew it it was 6pm. :roll: I need to finish this car before I kill myself. Anyway, all off! :cheers:

I hope it is wet to be honest. It'll be bedlam out there. I can't see Vettel doing it now. He's 16th or something. Know what you mean about Button, he's just not very charismatic some how. When he says he knows he can do it in interviews I think it's to convince himself rather than anyone else.

I missed Q2, how did button fail to get to Q3, just too slow or an off? GO BARRICHELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really hope Rubens takes it to the last race. He was just too slow mate. Then he blamed the tyres or something but then RB got pole using exactly the same set up! :lol: That's gotta hurt!

Great qualifying session! Should be interesting tomorrow. Button must be gutted! :lol:

Ya I had a giggle too :lol: I prefer "quirky". :lol:

:awesome: If I ever do manage to get in the audience I'm defo rocking up in the Rado.

No worries mate. Once the engine is ready to go back in I'll most likely give you and Mr Reid a shout. :D There's really nothing special going on at the moment. Just cleaning bits up ready to go back on, painting things, and fitting little bits here and there. This Sunday all I'm doing is fitting the brake lines, braided fuel lines, and tie rod boot clips. That's all. I kinda need a break from it if I'm honest and just spend most of the day relaxing.

I can find out for you mate if you need a new one. I just cleaned mine up with a wire wheel and sprayed it silver. 8) Ah no worries - its cool thanks. I'm not sure how useful it really is - I know its to help cool the pas fluid - but i wonder how effective/necessary it is.[/quote:v4yahaoc] I've asked about it at work and its effects are frankly dubious at best apparently. That's why mine just got a lick of paint and some new bolts and whacked back on. :D

Cheers matey! When she's back we'll have to organise another Suffolk get together or something. Can't believe we only managed the one! :lol: Well it's been a while since I've posted on the forum so thought I'd visit me old mate Sandra's page, how long before she's all back on the road dude? How long? Too fecking long! :lol: It's gonna be a little while longer. Priced up pretty much all the parts I need to finish it. Looking at another 800 notes. That's what's gonna hold me up! :lol:

Can't wait to do mine! Need to finish the front bit first though. :D

Didn't get as much done as I wanted today but it's almost there. Last few things I need to do to the bay: Clean up and refit power steering fluid bottle. Fit clips to tie rod boots (which I haven't got yet). Fit braided fuel hoses (which I haven't got yet). Think that's it.... Oh yeah, put bl**dy engine back in! :lol: Some pics of my loom: Also thought I'd trial fit my replacement bonnet.... Think a trip to the spray shop is in order!!! :lol:

Cheers mate! I'm back from holiday now and am going to spend all of tomorrow working on the bay. :D Will update with some nice piccies.

:brickwall:

Don't even get me started on this. All I want is my car back. Just about every pound I'm earning and every spare minute I have is being invested in getting it back on the road. I am well excited though. I'll have a G60 with completely rebuilt suspension and a completely rebuilt engine all with genuine VW parts. Come to think of it excited isn't even the word! :D

Cheers for the offer matey but looks like I'm sorted for a replacement at the mo. :D :D I'm off on holiday today so you're just going to have to content yourself with this pic of the progress so far. Just getting everything in the bay ready for the engine to just be dropped in. Then I will put all my effort into getting the engine rebuilt. As you can see probably only another day's work and it will be there. 8)

Sounds like the best option to be honest... sad though :( Tis very sad. :( Had a good look at the box today as Chris needed pics to send to the courier and you can clearly see where the stud punctured the box. Must have had a hell of a knock!

Time for a table with pistons as beer holders and ashtrays! Yep, already in the pipeline. :lol:

Well, been speaking to the legend that is Cracknell at work and he says just right it off. If I'm honest I tend to go with what he says. By the time I've paid to get that one fixed I could have got another one done that I wouldn't need to worry about. So, at the moment I'm gathering knackered cylinder heads and damaged pistons. :( :( :(

Sweet Disposition from that album was a free download on iTunes about 3 weeks ago... damned good track, I put it on our radio show the same week 8) Yeah, brilliant song. Makes me feel happy and sad and reflective in equal meassure.

Don't worry about that mate. Like I said the thing that annoys me the most is that it's such a waste of a good cylinder head. If someone had just done their job in a more professional manner it needn't have happened. Cheers for the offer mate. Think I'm already sorted for another one though. :D Too right mate. Not a moment too soon either!

:eek: :lol:

:camp: :lol: At least when it happens to me it's car related. :wink: :lol:
