I second that I'd be well pissed, hope it knocks out alright, motors coming along nicely tho mateScottieJ wrote:How come you paid ray to fit the engine then? Also did that dent happen while at his yard? Is be well pissed off if I put my vehicle in somewhere for work and came back with a dent like thatI would've kicked off until they fixed it, well out of order in my opinion.

He probably drove into it with that stupid yellow diesel one with the crane on the back...
I went up there once, and he hooned it out of the garage, bashed the crane on the over-door-girder!
Firstly he nearly took the girder out of the wall, and secondly he did a massive wheelie!!!

Re: toms 1985 sj build better late then never ;)
well i should hopefully be getting my hand on a dent puller soon
been working on it all week really , as been off from school
this is the firewall/dividing wall , pretty impressed on how it turned out
, used some box section i had laying around in the garage , and some door mag lock brackets for the corner dad gets from work

moving my switch plate into the dash because when i put it into gear it always use to his my previous switch plate so marked up and started cutting

blanked of the heaters with a bit of electrical tape does the job

cut out move of the dashboard for my 3 dial pod
