Not as far as I can tell. It's you talking about lube, pulling, beating , then posting a picture in which you look naked lol

I see how it looks now lol trust me there was no pleasure in the amount of time it took with various tools mostly 2 big crow bars and hammers to get that f'in pulley off and I'm not naked I hadn't long woke up and couldn't be assed to get dressed untill I had finished it it's much better rebuilding a head in your bedroom so much more comfortable

Ok guys I think thats enough now, no more fun, no more jokes, we should just concentrate on serious replies to project updates and that's it.
While we're at it, can we just get rid of the Random Distractions ad Phil Candy forums please? They're far too fun to be here.

I don't know how to break it to you Jony, but you are not a moderator, its a discussion forum, silly comments are pretty common on here, they always have been, its part of the reason the site is fun.

Re: Russ' mint green FRST (rep) .... UPDATE!!! :) :) :)
Na it's the engine mount at the back lol and I don't think there would be much point with a standard cam would there ? Lol got some calipers of a mk3 mondy the other day so when I get 15's I can run 300mm's and a mk1/2 idk servo to replace my escort one as I ain't happy with it , not much going on ATM just maintenance got stung by everything at once, engine rebuild, no brakes, clutch is going, engine mount, rad , wishbone, catastrophic exhaust blow( which i fixed and now its blowing somewhere else )and an oil leak good old fords ay just gta work through the list as I need MOT and tax this month too

frst toady :always the way bud, never rains it pours
it's not pouring mate it's more like a scene from independence day! also had a nice guy smash my window on
my car whilst I was sitting in traffic the other day there some nice people out there aye !! it's ok I know who it is and will make things even.
no not really happy with it Johny I dunno it's just the thought of a main part of my braking system being cut n welded rather than the actual servo itself, plus the Mondeo one is bigger
I have the calipers to go for 300mm brakes when I find a set of 15's I want,
also going to have to raise the car a little as where it's so low underneath the exhaust has caught on a few too many things and has ripped the hanger off the system up near the s brace and left me with a nice hole so another thing added to the list of things to do..... I will get there !! and it will be finished one day.........one day lol ....
