I know what you mean about the money, my mattress has got very lumpy recently. A big depression has formed in the middle, that luckily stops me falling out of bed.
I used to take Viagra to stop me rolling out of bed

Update time Sprayed the wheels,Ball aching job as usual New tyres on Fitted brakes with new st/st pins and pads Switchgear,clocks and lights sorted Typically though,I went to the sprayers and he hasn't even started My parts washer fluid was looking worse for wear So I rigged a piece of hose up to it and used it to wash all the crap out the exhausts before I change it Cheers Matt

One word can describe your build so far. Perfection.
The bar is going so high, I'm taking up pole vaulting

Brilliant idea to use your parts washer to clean your pipes Matt, I'll be hijacking that idea myself bud!.
Build is looking superb, fingers crossed your bodywork comes back shortly. It should just fall nicely for you to enjoy the F1 next spring 😊
Keep up the excellent work, really enjoy this thread.

Thanks Bezzer I always start a build with fresh washer fluid but as it gets filthy I usually just replace it I've never thought of washing the pipes out with it before throwing strangely But I know now,a lot of crap actually washed out
