Part 17 - Dawn of a New Era........

"We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now...We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools."



Congratulations my friend, this is one of the happiest days of my life, the others? The day Cath said "yes" the day I first held Miles, and the day I first held Cameron.

This is the first day of the rest of our lives........


Love as always, Dad x

Part 16 - Cadaver secured...get my scalpel




Well, Happy New Year everyone! After the lovely weather gets a bit easier, I will go and collect my new "score". I ended up getting the 86' XJ6 for $675.00 !!! A harvest that will provide a taller Diff, spare rear end, Front suspension with Much bigger front brakes that will accept Wilwood Calipers ( Go fast, but stop fast also) 5 stud hubs, a host of donor parts for my fuel injection experiment AND more importantly a fairly fresh 4.2 engine, the last in a series of developments providing the strongest of Jag engines - That way I can swap engines, keep the matching number engine to rebuild at my leisure (or not) then I'll shitcan the rest of it, like Jack the ripper with a sixpenny trick in Whitechapel. SO I'm feeling pretty excited right now...........
