Yes - very good pump indeed. You would hardly think it possible.
I shall indeed be trying a bit of air pressure - but it needed to come out to do it anyway - and the car is rego'd - so I didn't want to waste any time..
If I use ENOUGH air pressure I might get a 10 gallon tank.!

Cheers
They fit very well to when I can be bothered to line up the white stripe and I never put the nearside mirror in the mirror pod as it gets hard to remove then but keeps the dust of it

I can assure you the tins are empty (Not all of them eaten by me

)
I am hoping the concrete is still OK as I have to fix a small wall my son has demolished
There is a lot in the garage including 2 step ladders and the ladder hanging over the car is a 2 section 4M youngmans (Ladder porn - possibly). This is held up very securely
About 3 or 4 gear boxes and a back axle and prop.
Lots of measuring to make sure I could drive the car in without any dents
The cover was made for me by
Classic Additions
Was not cheap but does fit nice.
Wanted a large Logo but that was just to much so I may add something later

You need more stuff to make it like home Ben, looks lost in there.

I can't swing a cat 180 degree's without knocking its block off in my garage

I really don't need any new projects! I like the rooooooom! I may have to build a false floor to store my goodies :-)

Well a pump sucked it in - another pump could just as easily pop it back out again! (Just don't stand near it when doing so, drape a few wet sacks over it while doing this)

If you fitted a reversible pump to the tank of an Aussie Marina, could you make it play a
Stairway to Heaven like Rolf Harris's wobble board?

Last night I converted Reynards headlights to Halogens however one of the adjusters on NS bowl rotted out when setting it up on the beam setter so a quick bodge was required at work to get the light shining in the right direction. Second hand bowl dug out so I will pop back to work later and fit the new bowl! What a difference with Halogens lol

I agree about the halogens, it the difference between day and night isn't it? (pun intended)

Indeed Chris lol. I converted the mini last year and as I'm using Reynard as a daily it would have been rude not to convert that too. I just bought mini halogens and they are curved too so they still look the part. £25 delivered so I can complain and that included the bulbs too!
