Well got some great news today. The Land Rover is going to be covered by
insurance. This means the spit does nt have to travel that gruelling hour
drive every day anymore. It also means I am getting an rental while the LR
is being repaired.
To top it all off I went to the guy that I bought the Spit from and he was
clearign out his shop. Apparently he is moving but does not know where yet.
So he just gave me 2 good starters and a set of 5, yes I said 5, wire
wheels. Only 2 splines, but 5 rims just the same.
I may sell them though, I like the way mini lites look.
Anyone interested??
Thanks again for everyones input. Now I can work on it when I can instead
of every waking moment.
