Re: 14/15th
Its ALIIIVE. I know, I'll take a video of it running
Oh great, something else to bloody fix lol.
Also cut the bullbar off and re-welded it back closer to center since previous owner had centered it on the winch, which is mounted slightly off center to clear the steering box. Also started patching up the rust holes..think Im going to need a LOT more bog haha

Re: 14/15th
Went to rally woods with Clumz1 and a few other guys off here. Was a great trip. Managed to smash my fan and lose a couple of blades and cut some holes in the radiator.
Might be time for an electric fan conversion.... Sick of repairing my radiator after the fan touches it.

Re: 14/15th
Had a good day working on the Whale. Changed the viscous fan hub, removed the AC pump, installed an ARB compressor and wired the winch only to find the solinoid pack has had water in it at some stage and is shagged.
All in all had a productive day.

Re: 14/15th
Scored over 400 on my first club trial day
went home via river to wash some of the mud off and got stuck then melted my winch trying to get out.
luckily a passing safari dragged me out with all our straps joined together.
Now I have to wait weeks for the seats to dry out
Not the best day out but a good to laugh at after i got home!
