Welcome to the forum Paul. It always amazes me that our off shore brothers have some really monster built cars. Yours sounds like a real screamer. Keep the shiny side of that beast up right!!

As far as posting pics you have to use an image hosting site like photobucket.com. After you upload the image there you will see address links under your pics. Copy and paste one of these links into your post. There are two options. You may copy the direct link that looks like any other hyperlink addy and click the little picture icon above where you type the post or you can copy the one that has [IMAGE] xxxxxxx[IMAGE] and paste it directly in your post. Its pretty easy.
Now youve been educated I can do this:

I did warn you guys my spelling was not good , But i have got a funny story to tell ,when i was puting on the procharger you cannot use the ram that holds the hood up because the blower is in the way so i was useing a broom handle and resting it on the tyre to hold the hood up after all the work was done i was doing a idle test which had to be done in gear so i started the motor put the handbreak on and put a small block under the rear tyre i carried out the test and just wonderd if i had got rid of the small off idle stumble ,I gave the throttle a a handfull from the throtle body forgeting for a second that it was in gear the car moved forward over the block and the hood slamed down on me , running along the side with just my butt sticking out ,the car move forward about 8 feet befor it came to a stop hiting the front of my house , i crawled out from under the hood my back hurting like hell and i had a look to see if any of the neighbours had seem me , think i got away with it good thing off idle stumble was gone . more great escapes to come regards paul
