Nah I aint winter here but I guess its better than the British 'summer'

I still liked the speedacidgaragezooravetripping rocker cover you had a while ago

I think they stuck the ecotec ones on the very late LET's iirc or maybe on daewoo's

Thinking about how you said it squatted on launch, did you ever try or use spring assistors?

Good idea.

Coilrite would work well as you could let the pressure out for road driving

rear breathers welded up and -10 union welded to the side of the rocker cover for the breather tank



bit of star silver



get annoyed as the can decided with its last squirt to give a drip. ffs.



cant hardly tell but it is there, and a couple of other minor annoying bits. ah well.



hopefully saved enough silver to give the letters on the plug cover a quick splash.

i think it is quite close to the std silver colour.

hopefully get back springs done and rear platforms working again as they are seized today. also still need to lower the front down about an inch.
