Hi,
Sounds like i have a twin, I do exactly the same.
don't you just love this site, I have found a whole heap of ideas and mods I plan to work on.
nice to meet you man.

don't buy any new stuff, it will take all the fun out of seeing how long you can depress yourself, hammer your fingers, get burnt and generally wonder what its all for. I wouldn't change it for the world.
happy building.
Jason
