I remember you :D
Yes managed to rip all the welds out of the centre of that converter.
Must get a smaller right foot!
Just gathering parts for a T56 conversion at the moment so hopefully won't have that problem any more.
What are you driving now?

Cheers Si

Hi Nige
Car is all back on the road now.
Have just been to Billing for the AACI show (Yes i have got the right one this time) :lol:
Will be posting up some pictures in the week.

Plenty of Camaro's at the show great to see such interest.
Would have been nice if we could have all parked up together!
Just a few minor niggles to work out on the car (Not bad after 4 1/2 years parked up)
Looks like a need to do a fluid and filter change in the gearbox as it is hanging on to each gear too long.

Cheers
Si :mrgreen:
