Great idea for a thread...
Aye - I'll add any further links to the first post as necessary
What about a dedicated repair/building sub forum?
Beyond the Spam Team's capabilities - you could pm/email Sam George who is working to rejig the forum as we speak. Well, he's probably not right now, but the point stands.
Ok, will ask him.
Thanks.
That's really useful - I just read 3 at random and learned loads!
Just one teeny thing though, Zap - the link for the "Semi-hollow upgrade" goes to the "Firebird" page, as does the "Firebird" link. I think it needs to link to article 166, not 167 again. Is it within your power to fix?
Cheers,
Al.
