[928uk] I'm f.cked

Sun Oct 4 09:07:15 UTC 2015

Sorry for the late update folks. Its been really busy. I've tried with some
epoxy's but it would start leaking within a few days.
I've been able to buy a second hand gast tank in perfect shape for  a mere
100€.
Still have to get it in but I'm taking the advantage of replacing my diff.
bearings now the tank is out.
Hope to get it done and tell the full story in a couple of weeks.

Kind regards,

Igor
