I think you're purposefully breaking things to get out of fitting it.

Oh its been one of those weekends has it

Just putting a blue box Exedy clutch in, should be good for a few years (I hope!! - don't fancy doing it again in a hurry, the 6 speed box is a heavy old thing, but you already know that )

Yeah, still the sun was out so I'm keeping my gob shut...could have been much worse

Six speeds are too heavy for me matie, shame I'm not closer though

Did get one new thing done; I was guilted into sorting my starter motor out

Oooohh shiny

I'm lucky enough to have a mate who's works on Subarus day in day out he gave me a lift and a LOT of guidance and was able to remove parts twice as quick as I can. I couldn't have done it without him!!! I'm aching today though

Btw Ian, there might be another Scooby project on the way for me.......

We, Blu and I, have Suabru's that can actually drive places. That's got to be worthy of a fan club.

Sorry, Ian.
