there was that thread a while back about the chap who found a bunker in his yard, dug it out took him ages... there was a huge following of his progress as i recall. this was on Jersey if you think thats cool how about digging up 120k worth of carriers out of a garden ?

hahahahaha what get it cross drilled wedged etc :) this heeeeowge balance makes them tick over so smooth..... the shells dont look that bad in my opinion..... could not believe that Belcher wanted 400 notes for a set of shells !! this screams of when i had my crank done on the mini turbo ! the engineering firm wanted 100 notes for a set of shells i paid circa £20 from green and white ! why do they do this to folk !?

Going to Morrisons is a hoot !!!! Being from this community i struggled to keep the engine standard.... As a result it now has Johnson adjustable lifters, ARP head and rod bolts, stromberg 97 carb, electronic ignition and a facet fuel pump.... The museum lot went berserk ! It's all removable, but as I said on them whilst the engine started first click... You can't put a price on those extra banana's and curly whurlies (a blank look was received)
