Default Did a recon on The Roach this weekend...

Wasnt a pleasant experience...but all is not lost, have a dead steering rack...dead AC compressor clutch,Broken glovebox latch,Broken motor mounts, 4 Kerb rashed BBS LM's =( and a exhaust manifold that has been snapped off its studs to the cylinder head,cracked windscreen and a ganked drivers side sill...
I think (Hope) I can get it back in my posession from NC next weekend...then will start the rebirth of the Roach...I'm hoping some good stuff has been happening in my absence so that I may brain rape those in the know and create a 4 cylinder beastie of old.

'Preciate that...It'll all be good in the end.
It'll be weird once its running again after driving my Land Rover for so long...culture shock to say the least...I hope my DL can handle the strain ;-)

Default Glad you have her back M...

I am sure that Roach.2 will prove as resiliant as it's predecessor.
