IMPORTANT NOTICE


To all the chaps who were involved in the removal of the motor from my 80 whilst I was out trying to earn a dollar.

theres a few important bolts missing

banjo thingy that goes into the power steering pump
special nut that goes on exhaust manifold
some washers from engine mounts


do any of you know where these items could have been placed

we have turned vehicle inside out and searched every ice cream comtainer within a 500 mile radius

IT LIVES

IT LIVES

THE SUBMARINE IS ALIVE

WOOOOOO HOOOOOO


funny thing is, I was standing on the bank of the river looking at the hole it sank in this morning and then 3 hours later when I'm back at home I get a phone call and it sounds like a tractor so I hang up thinking my mate has accidentally pushed a button whilst phone is on pocket, but then he rings back and tells me to shuddup and listen and hes starts it up again

fukn aye

will be getting it home soon to finish off the little bits and pieces like lights etc etc

oh yeah, gotta install a snorkel as well


and water crossings can go fuk themselves

what a fukn hassle it can cause and the expences you never even thought of


Thanks again to everyone whol helped and contributed in any way shape or form

and a massive public thanks to my mate Phil Baylis for taking in a homeless, dead, stray cruiser and making it better again

Time for a bush basher Skid

[Jerry]

he had one ... but he sold it

[skid]

he had one ... but he sold it

its OK boys, I'' just borrow Jerrys basher, coz we all know hes too scared to use it himself

[skid]

actually drove it yesterday

its only got very dodgy front brakes, but it was able to be driven onto road so I could get inside and scrub the faaark out of it to try and get rid of the wet dog/pig/deer smell and scrub all the blood off the floor....................






it only starts coz my mate lent me his starter motor, as it seems mine is fukt

also on the fukt list is my power steering pump

seems the when you drive into water it not just rains it pours

[flyingbrick]

Next time i head to welly i think i should bring my 7mm08 and you should show me where to shoot the deer/pigs and wet dogs.

And we should take your truck to keep mine smelling fresh.

Is it?

[skid]

after 4 days in the bush, I drove up the drive and there she was, sitting there looking all sad with missing bits etc

my mate Phil has done an awesome job so far and now its up to me to piece it back together, look for bits that went missing when the boys removed the motor and try to find out why it still smells like dead pigs/deer/dogs after countless hours of scrubbing

may check tomorrow to see if alternator is charging, but to be honest I'm too scared after all the other shit that has gone wrong since we started


oh well, onwards and upwards

[Jerry]

When are we putting it back together?

try to find out why it still smells like dead pigs/deer/dogs after countless hours of scrubbing

Taz hasn't been near it?

Did you pull all the drainplugs?, its not stagnant water sitting somewhere?, did you check behing all the doorcards and the ones at the rear?
