    Re: My Project

    I added a quick update, not that theres been loads happened ....same story really, time/money etc makes it quite a long process. I think you've done well to get as far as you have already mate!! Im going to aim to have it for national day, if i don't set a target i know it'll drag out for longer!

    Very nice, who fitted the screen and the new screen seal, did you buy the seal yourself and if you did do you have any part numbers and can you point me in the direction of where you got them,

    Cheers.
