if we drive our rigs they might get dirty.

actually we do drive them but only on top secret missions, therefore we can neither tell you about the trips nor can we show you the photos.

the cup is presented to the most noteworthy event...it was presented to Mock for rolling an unrollable wide vit, but Mock presented it to Big Steve for more than one roll on a trip, and stuffing his roof so bad, that the latest rebuild was born. christover

Talking about the Hummvit. I understand that last weekend it was also involved in another incident. This included an "oh F*^K" and an "OUCH" then a bit of laughing so i'm lead to believe.

Progress update after the weekend.

Engine, gearbox and transfer back in hopefully for the last time.

Fuel lines run and connected.

Loom worked out, the car was in a few bits when purchased i have no wiring diagram so it took a while. But at least when you turn the key the engine turns over.

Will replace the broken distributor cap through the week (don't ask why its broken :x ), fit the radiator and all going well it should start.

I've actually had a chance to get some work done on the car this week.

The front clip has been cut to the point that it may as well not be there, snorkel fitted, fuel filler mods done, radiator almost mounted, wiring sorted and had my parts arrive today.

Still need to order the XGT's, shocks, dizzy cap, driveshafts (too busy today), rims.

Will get some more pics over the weekend.
