Well after a week of late nights working on the car its still no where near finished! I need to plumb a return feed for the carbs ( I have no idea if these carbs are gonna work at all.) Throttle cable Passenger seat belt bleed the brakes up Mount the battery weld up the bulk head where ive chopped it out for the exhaust Clear the car out and pack for retro rides. Ive got all that to do tomorrow and I wont be home from work till 3pm. Also matts e30 decided to blow its radiator and now thats not playing ball. Might end up setting off saturday morning and then I still don't know if Ill make it as I havnt given the car a shake down  Wish me luck. |

You could probably just put a T-joint in the fuel cable, between the pump and the tank, and run the return feed in there Edit: Fuel HOSE  |

Hey mate, my list of maladies is nowhere near as long as yours and I'm still bricking it, but that's because I'm mechanically inept and a bit curse word at organising my resources, both human and fiscal. I've seen what you can do, and I wish you the best of luck. And you're bleedin' younger than me as well My deadline is late Saturday night \ early Sunday morning. Tent erection by full beam anyone? |

Good luck! Makes my problems seem rather minimal! Hope to see you there
