LABOUR WEEKEND

skid · Post by **skid** » Sun Oct 21, 2007 5:23 pm

I thought that seeing as how we are over halfway through the weekend, it was time to post.

Spent yesterday morning trying to wire up LEDs on the trailer for adogg to borrow.

Spent the afternoon cleaning up inside the house a bit.

Today we cleaned up around the outside of the house and I started to tidy up my lockup, so I can find stuff.

Then it was time to remove the starter motor from orange coz its been playing up and is not so high torque lately. The very first nut I tried to undo was the main battery cable and it proceeded to break the housing for the electrical motor clean in half.

will carry on with my lockup clean tomorrow and go visit adogg to see his new purchase. hes up to 4 different cruisers now. greedy boy. :roll:

I took the Jeep for a WoF yesterday, got pulled up on a few things which I am working through. The rear tyre carrier was loose where it joined onto the bumper, the WoF man didn't like it being loose, but that was the excuse I was looking for as I wanted to take it off anyway. So now the carrier and associated bracketry has been removed, leaves a few holes in the hatch, will looking at plugging them, or maybe in the future replacing the whole door as there are a few cracks in the fibreglass.

I also need to look at the handbrake, and exhaust leak, and get Novus to fill a crack in the windscreen.

Might try to go for a drive tomorrow morning since I will be up early having watched the Formula 1 in Brazil.

OK here are some pic's....

What the hell should I do with it???!!!!!??

And incomplete lunch table....

Need to get some covering for top when shops open tomorrow.
Need to get some rope or similar to set the height
Need to get a better securing system as now when I shut the rear door it jolts it off.

The hinges are bent to suit and attached to a piece of solid steel running the lenght of the door which I added. If I can find some vynal (sp) that looks better I will cover the whole thing with it.

Worked all day saturday.

Did CV's on a friends BHALP Mazda on sunday. Passenger side was a MARE to get the axle out of the box.

Today I tidied the garage and began to mount my new Ryobi bench grinder and then mowed the lawns and did the edges.

Need to replace the chuck on my drill, off to the hardware store now.

Spent the weekend at Costaplenty. Awsome place, wet as after all the rain which made for some muddy tracks and bogs. Had a small "incident" when the track seemed to dissapeer from under the passenger side wheels and ended up in some manuka scrub.

A few pics
