towed my POS citroen that's lost all compression in one cylinder back to the old man's place to be tucked away til I move.
trailer was borderline too small, though :lol: worked perfectly though in the end.

don't appreciate how long it is til it barely fits a trailer that swallows a landrover disco with ease.

started on the left side of wedge lift on friday night. needs to have a bit more welding and be painted up then all done on lift for front.

Went to pick-a-part this arvo.
Found a couple of throttle butterfly linkages to use so can make the cable fit up to webber. will set it up during week.

Got radiator and fans outa v6 mitzy. Old one was just starting to leak from crack around filler neck and wanted to set up some elec fans, so everything underbonet wont get so wet when water crossing as it does now with hard mount fan. :lol:
Test fit and found main fan hit waterpump.... so fliped fans upside down and swaped left with right. both fans will bolt on with 3 orig holes and will jimy a couple brackets for the forth ones. Radiator just slides between the chassis also has a couple thermo switches in bottom tank already. Once relays and plumbing done sould keep it all 8)

Just got back from the Auckland /Manukau inter-club challenge. a lot of fun had by all. done my years worth of exercise. running downhill is flippen hard work! Of course Manukau showed their superiority and good sportmanship! (hahahahaha). Missed out on the bbq after as i had to go pick one of our superbikes up from Hampton Downs. Cheers Auckland for the challenge, but next time you say its a down hill trolley race, dont have uphill sections! thought we were going to need a defibrillator! A Great Day!

Hair dressing hasn't worked out then :lol:
Now that was with the top of the car off, and not the lovely lady's :lol:

good weekend, fitted snorkel (been on the to-do list since the build) because I don't believe monstr when he says, "we won't put you through deep mud holes"
Fitted a few lumens too.
Still no pics for you junkies (truck keeps eating the camera repair budget :roll: )

Cheers,
I keep looking for the loose nut behind the wheel, but I can't find it!!

Ha, i`m thinking about growing my hair a bit longer for this exact reason, Hair blowing around in the breeze...

And i`d like to say her top came off later, but i`ll leave that to everyones imagination...

In the Convertable front, bought some Rims, and now have a decent stereo and alarm, and will be giving her a full service this week.
