    I know I like to look at rebuild threads and you tube videos, I guess because I can’t get enough first hand even though we are always rebuilding something. I figured I would put up some pictures of the w900 we are trying to get done now.
    Maybe @Ruthless wants to tell me what I am doing wrong…..
