One of my regular reads. I enjoy the traditional rods. For VW I read ACVW though!

Not a lot more done Frank - I spent longer than I expected getting my Valiant ready for the Streetrod Nationals. Classic "job creep" - needing to replace waterpump, two suspension bushes and redo the master cylinder turned into a complete stripdown......
I'll be diving back in in earnest now though, since I have no intention of giving either you or Vader petrol money :wink: :twisted: :P :D :D :D

Hey Zero, I posted because of all the time and effort that must have gone into the details! But then I'm sure you've got a good idea how that goes...
