Hi Smithy Can you wait until my next rebuild when I take mine off - just have to finish Project 58 and get some miles on that first - maybe 3 or 4 years? You're not in any hurry are you?  No, sorry I can't help but I just couldn't resist! Best of luck with it all - I am sure with the support shown to you already you will meet your deadline without too many issues. NoSFEratu  |

If you haven't grown up by 50, you don't have to.

Thanks Pedro - obviously it was money well spent on the sex change all those years ago that you realised I'm missing the block and tackle. Kathi (aka NosFEratu) |

Don't worry Dean - I'm not offended!  I wish you the best with your deadline - it's amazing what can be done with the right attitude and some support. I know that working with injuries is not fun - pace yourself, try not to get too frustrated and slowly but surely you will get there! Kathi |

thanks KATHI i set a deadline just for myself after years of just cruising through the rebuild and now it appears it is for a great cause so "it must be done" i was trying to do as much of the car myself but given my current situation and lack of skills in some areas i really appreciate the support shown. i am honestly humbled. i have said it before but i could not have even made it this far without the guys and girls of this forum......... so how about that badge now cheers dean |

Sorry Dean, NosFEratu's next rebuild isn't on the cards until Project 58 is finished - so if you can wait for that badge maybe I can help you out! Never underestimate your ability to learn and perfect new skills especially from those that are so obviously willing to help you. Remember - pace yourself and try not to get too frustrated! And by the way ..... I lurve Purple but couldn't bear to think of NosFEratu anything but black when I rebuilt it. Kathi |

Thank you Pedro It's amazing what they can do isn't it? Some of the top models and Bond Girls have lost their block and tackle too! Bet you didn't know they could surgically remove Adam's apples back in 1979? Now that will really get you thinking! And before anyone gets paranoid - the only thing fake about me is my hair colour..... and while that changes regularly which John says is cheaper than a new wife! And he should know - I'm not called "KB3" for nothing! Now where did this all start off - did you end up getting a badge Dean? Kathi |

Dear Dean While I am very happy for you that you have found a badge, I feel compelled to let you know how deeply distressed I am that you chose not to wait for mine.  I can only hope that with time these wounds will heal and that one day I can rise above these feelings of rejection and move one - but until that day comes, I will console myself with the thought that this potential union of our cars would only have served to denigrate the integrity of my badge by it being placed on a girly purple car!

Hi Dean Now you know I love purple! So, re the cruisin' bit, John's question - " does he have enough tread on his rear tyres for them to survive you driving it?" He's a little concerned about the cost of keeping whitewalls on the van once the V6 goes in! Geez, I'm being lectured already!  I finish with my well used catch phrase - " Purple's nice!" Just wanted to see how long it would take you to bite! Kathi |

Hi Dean Pleeeeeeease forgive me. I didn't mean to say such harsh words but, I thought you would wait for my badge, and it's hard to take being passed over for someone younger! (FC vs FE). Glad you might have got the badge you need though! Keep up the progress but pace yourself and make sure you get the distance too! Kathi |

Smithy, badges sent by post today. If anyone else offers you a badge, grab it - I'm not confident that either of mine are good enough for that sweet purple thing... I noted with considerable interest that you were going to toss the keys to Kathi in return for a badge. Now, I saw the pic of Kathi on here somewhere; given that she has internal plumbing, looks that good AND can dance, I can understand your offer of the keys for a cruise. Sadly, I'm assuming that the possession of block n tackle precludes me from a similar offer??? cheers jack ps for mine, dump the mags!! stick with steelies; baby moons, full moons, bullet centre caps; whatever but not mags... (just my humble opinion; its your car, do what you want!) |
