1. Stilletto_Rebel (Miles) - some electrical work and maybe paint my brake calipers.
2. 22 Silver - help installing new timing wheel and advancing timing.
3. Shuey - Buffing the car (buffer req'd) & maybe installing CAI.
4. Wun911 - Bleed brakes.
5. Fastfreddygassit - eat food, drink drinks and offer to round off nuts/bolts/screw heads if required. I am good at cross threading too. Nah, I'll just come to say hi. :mrgreen:
6. Juffa - Need to adjust check/adjust softtop set plates and maybe refit NB wind blocker, and tell everyone how good I am at fitting brake pads and then prove otherwise.
7. Meanmx - Keeping Wun away from any angle grinders and brake fluid, keeping FFG away from the food and to check that Juffa has put the brake pads in correctly
