well the kitchen definately is a sweat shop, storage area, workshop, fount of culinary delights and garage…
and here’s the loveliest thing in it, i think… not too sure….

people talk all funny when it comes to cars and stuff… people talk about ‘sexy’ technology… i don’t really understand this, i think that we’ve all be so saturated with marketing messages we’ve got confused about it all… aesthetic appreciation, yes… erotic sexual arousal….. errmmm.

no.

i don’t think so.

the porsche fan shroud is a great shape. especially when i look at the cast iron pop riveted 1930’s style thing i took off. but it just looks like a slightly greasy car part to me…

maybe i’m just tired..
this doesn’t normally happen to me…
i’ve just been under a bit of stress lately…
yes, of course i find it attractive…..

all the bits arrived this morning and i’ve not been able to do much more than a quick test fit onto the block. Straight off it’s not bad at all. will need some minor surgery around the intake manifolds and a bit of a hack to get the bell crank throttle linkage to fit properly but …. i’m hopefull.

the fuel pump blockoff supplied with the kit is much thinner than the one on at the moment and the current one fouls the base of the new generator pedestal..

i was getting all worked up about haviong to tap the new one for the oil breather pipe until ollie (who has been round here tagging and bagging t-shirts like a t-shirt bagging trooper) pointed out that it would be far easier just to take a grinder to the existing one…

a superb suggestion, not only do i not need the hassle of tapping the new one to take the threaded breather insert barb i get to play with the angle grinder!

the man’s a genius !

here’s a quick taster of some of the delights we have for you at the upcoming Volksworld show at sandown park racecourse this weekend.

get ’em while they’re luke !
