Really sorry to hear about that. I certainly hope you will recover your car ASAP.

Hi all, Feel free to download the e-book (5mb). It covers almost all aspect of cars' performance. Good reading. My appologies that I can't post it in the tech section as I do not qualify. Coverpage download link: DELETED BY PAWT

I snapped this while having lunch at some chinese village. This bike is at least 30 plus years. its a Honda Cub. The Cubs are indestructible. Saw it on TV and it still starts after dropping from a building. The Japs just built them (economically) tough. http://img527.imageshack.us/img52

My first Taiwan made Comp with 3hp are pretty noisey. My neighbors gave me the evil eyes all the time!! Skip the cheap ones.

The interior still looks good for a 30+ year car. i hardly see any rust spots. The car is in pretty good shape

No worries abt the tacho. I seen some aftermarket digital tacho that can be installed. Its quite slim, with LED indicator like the knight rider's red sensor. just wire it up to the distributor

that is some progress and nice work with the rolla. What sort of undercoat are you using? Are you using rubberised type of the paint on bitumen? I used some paint on bitumen that required some heating before application, but some friend mentioned they may not be lasting compared to rubberised coatings. Bitumen would flake off over time. Just sharing my knowledge.
