And then it might be time to get a slightly bigger house?
At least paint the front door, that blue colour is horrible.

and fill it with river stones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there is a separate area for weekend achievement's NON 4wd related.

Starting clearing out the shed out the back so i can have somewhere to work on the truck and keep all my tools(currently in kept in spare wardrobe )

A coat of paint and a workbench and il have a workshop for the first time in 3 years

Started the rear guard chop and the nibbler I borrowed from work broke 20 seconds into the job. So I got out the jigsaw and put a metal blade in it - seems the blades I got arent compatible with my jigsaw (they fall out when under pressure). I decided not to use the cutting disk in the grinder (too messy and the fuel tank is right there) so out with the hand shears. Slow and anoying but one side is done. Just got to get some under body sealer to waterproof everything and also as set of curved shears (make the curved cuts a little easier) before I do the last one.

Will do a spare set of front guards while I am at it and tuck them away for later on (when these ones are trashed). I intend to do a short "how to" thread when I am finished and got all the pics sorted for anyone else wanting to do something similar.

ta be honest right now im driunk as Sh8T
got pffered a mont job so im celebrating

gave the saf a polish with black tint polish, shiny now ,will clean easier, and removed the rear sway bar , tightened the fan belt on the 40 lubed the throttle parts to free them up and tweeked the return spring , and got a fire exsting for it

front guard finished (cant be bothererd doing the spare front guards now too annoyed with doing it all by hand - bloody tools)


other guard also


sribbed lines (didnt use them exactly more of a guide in the end)


Scrib to mark cuts and fold lines


Making a start with grinder (didnt last)


Half way


New piece installed


finished and primed.


finished

pulled the radiator out of da lux and cleaned out a shit load of mud

tomorrow, check the front wheel bearings (keep pushing the caliper pistons in) and check the rear brakes
clean the inside also to stop the wife whining at me
