Looking forward to join the runs out.I'm in Bury, Manchester. I know two others that are members on here, although i don't know the usernames :p Both live in Ramsbottom.

Hi Chris

Tis me lives next to Steve n Jamie.

Welcome

I'm always up for a 'gentle' (although Ive been told you dont do gentle :p ) drive out when free.

I'll introduce you to t'other local members when you get to a meet.

Also - look out for Blyton track day & the convoy down to Stoneleigh.

And a few of us are hoping to get to some local autosolos.

I'm sure local AOs will be in tough soon.

The old xflow lifted out for a winter rebuild. My car had certainly seen better days when I first bought it.

My valves could be slapped around in the guides :( Valves couldn't seal grease never mind combustion gases :p No unleaded seats (after a year of running unleaded)

I was really excited to see this.

First time I looked at this I was certain the machine shop had destroyed my bores, looks so rough!

New rings, bottom end shells, water pump, oil pump and the head work. Looking good.

After my first ever engine build, It seems to be running well, few issues with ignition timing and exhaust gaskets but hey, I don't have a clue what i'm doing :p Makes it more fun.

That's major work Chris, in at the deep end aren't you. At least you are on a rapid learning curve.
