Not sure if there is a thread going yet???
Stripped Discovery some more. Still waiting to finish stripping it before I take photos a and start a build thread. Thats been about it..... Nothing like taking a hacksaw to the "A" "b" 'c" "d" pillars

sold my ute on friday night so now i have funds to fix surf, brought a el-cheepo arc welder on sat for 70buks dont know what ill do with it as 140a can hardly run 3.2mm rods brought a heap of snowboarding gear today(sunday) and will buy sum rancho's and other junk this week for the surf,oh and i ran new battery cable and terminals in it aswell
i had a fun weekend of spending...

had a bit of an open day at my house 15 trucks i think terranos had a bad day busted cv all over the place looked like terrano scrap yard oh and one isuzu had a busted cv managed to get myself stuck up the waipara first time in ages also somone popped a bede the last terrano just kept loosing bits of it allday
also started making some rock sliders finish that this week

Got a chance to get out and do some more work on the lemon

Finished clearancing and plating the diff case on the new surf rear axle, machined down the axles for a disk conversion... machined out the center hole on a set of new solid disks to fit the surf axles... pressed on some new bearings, cut the spring seats off and moved them round to increase the pinion angle (better ground clearance after the shave and makes it easier on the UJ) with a bit of luck I'll have the axle in place by the end of the week with its new disk brakes all done and the locka installed

Oh and slotted up a set of new vented disks for another project

hey RZ nice price on the welder , at 140 you shouldn't have any probs running 3.2's, try changing the plug your using to one closer to the power meter and switch board... might surprise ya

Cheers Reece

lol, um yea, I kinda hoped that wouldn't come up. oh well. I think it was my first outing 4 a while that i havn't broken something neway.

Saturday was spent looking for somewhere to live, which we found ... Sunday was spent at Rik's watching the mayhem....

Saturday did some minor(easy) panel beating on the Safari. Managed to pull the dent out of the passengers door to the point were its hardly noticeable, and now the window works again. Sweet.
Took it round to a panel beater mate and started arm twisting to get the C pillar fixed before the next WOF.

started schemeing about doingf the bodylift again. I thought i had talked myself out of it about a year ago, but its back again. Dam.

Stag party Saturday night. Left the strip club at 4am. Needless to say, Sunday was a writeoff.

Seem to recall a trip a while back where Matt lost a tyre at every river crossing (well, the legend gets better every time its told) so I guess he's got nothing to be flopping his cock all over the place about anyway

Well it turns out that I couldn't put those other terrano half shafts in as the desiels have a smaller spline and shaft width, so I must have been giving it shit as it would have needed more to break Matt tell Hayden he got ripped off , I picked up one today in mint condition for $40 bucks Sorry about earlier post, son had me awake all night and walked into the usual DHB shit fight, you know.
Al

Tiz al good, Im shure youll be the first to say somthing when I next break something.

where did you get yours from?

Got mine from Jamie out at Rangiaora. Don't think that's the floor price though. Mates rates.
