Taz nearly up and running
Taz has a new bumper!!! The decals on it are only on the photo - Tony wants to know whether he should add them or not.
He(Taz not Tony!) also has a 4-pin diff and will have new brake shoes by the weekend. (although you can't see it in this photo, he is on blocks at the back awaiting their delivery) Engine had to be removed - again! and the gearbox stripped down after refusing to go into anything except reverse when green-laning last year. Carb swapped - the one that actually came with this engine.
All appears to be up and running again but not taken him out for a blast yet. Fingers crossed! (I am fed up with helping out in the garage with freezing toes and fingers)

Socks - yes,another pair.
gloves - you can't wear gloves when holding bits and pieces in an engine. Apparently my hands are a much better size for getting to some bits and pieces than Tony's Have you seen the size of his hands?- and you certainly can't turn the pages on a Haynes manual with gloves on.
And I have had a complaint from Tony (nothing unusual there!)
What he wanted me to write is -
Re decals - another Scipio household disagreement. He wants them, I don't. (I liked some others he drew on another picture.)
Can you express your opinions please? It would be nice if, just for once, I could win!

Re: Taz nearly up and running
il help--- either strip taz down for spares for daisy (not that she needs them)
or paint him white, with yellow roof and roll cage, with black bumpers and wheelarches

Re: Taz nearly up and running
Decals won't make Taz go faster or make him better off road - you could put your name and blood group on the windows like the rally boys do
