Cheers, Graham Title: Re: It Started Post by: GOA350 on September 29, 2005, 08:23:39 AM May i say after doing a couple of rebiulds of cars, that no matter what stage the car is at, that the firing of the engine for the first time is one of the most satisfying moments of the biuld. Congratulations Rusty and may there be many more satisfying moments,
cheers Scott ;D ;D ;D Title: Re: It Started Post by: HARKO on September 29, 2005, 10:24:00 AM Your so right Scott I fired up my 192 4 days ago and religesly I get home from work and walk straight over to give it a rumble before I say gday to the family.
Now my daughter just hears the sweet sound of a lumpy red and says Daddy daddy daddy daddy daddy ....Daddy's home. Congrats Rusty - know the feeling and it works wonders on your motivation . Title: Re: It Started Post by: Ed on September 29, 2005, 09:33:25 PM Congratualtions Rusty!
