Well remember this



I decided to do this well when I say I meant to say me and Davy







Which eventually turned out like this



.

It is now in my oven baking and awaiting fitting.

The reason for all this will be revealed later

I see you got Davy to do the adult stuff with the knife.

All that work with your doctor has been worthwhile after all.

You're going to paint the exterior red and red under the bonnet would have been 'too much'?

Dunc not quite.

I'm putting it back to original and have sourced the proper plug boot leads from USA.

Don't tell Eveline as they are not the cheapest things on this earth.

Once the gasket has arrived I will be putting all back together and post some pic's.

And yes Peter, if I do decide to sell then at least it will not hinder it selling.

You can get good money as a carer these days. It looks good though.

Once the red leads are on it the black cam cover should look the berries Gary. Hope your not going to do the interior in black too! I feel a divorce coming...

Still can't beat a white cam cover though...

Alan.

If the gasket comes in time then aye next week will be ok.

Alan...I think I might end up in ward 1,2,3 and 4 of the local hospital if I suggested that.

Bluebro...No all SE's came with black cam cover and red boots. I think the origianl owner in Gremany went for the opposite contrast, hence the interior as well

Gary
You are following in my footsteps, apart it took me the next day to remove the overspray from the cooker hood and kitchen walls and floor.
Was a good idea at the time. NNNNNOOOOOTTTTT.
PS report to ward 26 and you will be fine after 3weeks treatment.
