Well weekend started early...

Well to be honest curly there was three of us, and Yes you are right, Very Risky Stuff(could you imagen what would of happended if we left the gasket out ). We like to live life on the edge, fitting new rad caps, and even taking it that step further, thermostat!

finally got the net on since moving house. only took 3 weeks for them to do it and thats chch urban too!!!

This weekend I went right out on limb,
not only did I buy new wiper blades for my girlfriend's car, i got the whole wiper heads. Even with my vast mechanical experience, I struggled like feek to fit them
I think I need to watch one of those vids on how to DIY.


Oh, went to Woodhill for the night run. Did some driving, did some winching and changed a flat tire.

Credits;
Thanks to Madmike for the new winch (fast and powerful [compared to my old thrashed one]), and new LED spotties.
Thanks to Hilux Dan for being navi.

Cheers,

Spent most of Saturday at Jono's workshop having my sump shaved
It had a few to many love taps from the front diff so it got the treatment, sliced about 30mm off. Still holds about 7 liters so should be all good





Also fitted some H.I.D"s into the lux, what a differance Stopped in at woodhill and did the night run to try them out on the way home. No pics from there, it was way to dark!

But did snap a pic of Jono's new project, in its very early stages

370mm of diff clearance on 29" bikkies

and snapped these of a club mates nissan being built, It's looking really good (for a Nissan )

Portals?? ohhhhhhh like very muchly, where abouts did they come from?!

Used a few cutting disks on the lada and llada associated stuff, barwork and the like... ran out so had to stop... need to purchase more cutting discs. Welded in some brackets for the rear hooks/bar

Threw the new feet on for lols, they need to come off so I can trim the guards and finish removing a swag of bodywork (and rust) from the rear. Better update over in the lada thread.

Didnt get up to a huge amount, spent saturday night in bed sick.

Sunday pulled out the rear diff head on the zuk to redo the seal as it was leaking out at an extreme rate... Turns out that finger tight bolts dont seal very well...

On the positive side though, I could rebuild most of my truck with my farkin fingers if i needed too plenty of spanner swingin to be done...
