Just a basic cut paste from pacer.
Didnt try to hard,it was just a quick job, to prevent the paint getting oxidated. like the roof. :(

Its still got visible scratch's ,so you know its a real 4wd, its funny how much extra attention it gets when its all shiny.

I rolled a surf yesterday


































Because I wanted to chop the driveshafts out. The tractor made short work of flipping it on its side :twisted:

Today, me and my dad fixed the hole in the front of the RR diff housing, and made up a place to put all the guages.

Yea, the place to put the guages was for the LR. I dont think I like the name shedrover. I might change it.

It ended up being wood (covered in black vinyl) for the housing, and the bit that the guages are on it aluminium. Probably gonna paint it black

I think Turoa has more 4wds at his place than spanners :shock: I reckon shed rover will be back on the fix it list soon :wink: Maybe I should put shed rover on the front page :idea: that should inspire him to fix it over his RR which is currently on the front page now.

This weekend I decided to start fixing the surf again 8) I only decided it, didnt actually touch it :oops:

Cut the bottom off the rear quarter panels on the safari, put in new stainless bottoms and bogged and bogged some more. Grinded the old rear protection bar off the terrano up to fit the safari, get it all welded this week. Much better departure angles and it kinda looks mean :lol:

Did nothing ofroadish except put my newly painted tractor rims in the back of the surf (to take to the tyre outfit to get tyres fitted) and also loaded this year's wool crop in the back too to take to wool merchant.

Apart from that I made noticeable progress on the tractor project

You know I was loading the rims into the surf and was considering bolting them on the rear instead, would be quite a beast!, ignore minor issues like body rub.

No this is a tame project, just a rebuild of a Fergie 35. I'll be using it offroad mind you, just maybe not in the river beads and mud holes (it'll be a shiney), but then that might be fun :D

Seems like a lot of us were otherwise busy judging by the lack of posts for this weekend.

I had an early start Sat morn, 2:30am, than after 4 1/2 Hrs work, headed for Mayfield to cut a load of firewood.

While there I had a look at the Hinds River to see what potential it had.

It was a very short recce, but it didn't seem too bad for the short section I had a look at.

I hope to go back this coming weekend for more firewood, and a more in-depth recce.

Eventually I would like to see if you can follow the river from Mayfield to SH1 Hinds area!

Sunday was family picnic day and showing the motorbikes the light of day again after a long hibernation.

Not very exciting I know but it's a start. :roll:

Spent friday,saturday and sunday in the studio laying down the guitar tracks for our new CD.

I got 9 songs done. Not bad at 3 each day.

Bloody mission, any idea how hard it is to play two guitar tracks perfectly exactly the same but each on different guitar a so you get the stereo effect with one guitar track on the left speaker and the other track coming through the right speaker. Trust me, its farken hard work :?

Only another 4 songs to record then lay down the lead guitar tracks with solo's etc etc for 8 of the songs then i'm done 8)

Its sounding bloody good for the hard work though :twisted: :twisted:

Managed to sneak in some time early Sunday morning to spray the LJ though 8) 8)
