I had a great weekend, Saturday was spent cleaning house

Sunday was to the wedding expo till 11am then an afternoon of sitting in front of the TV watching Puki

Other than that, I am contemplating going out in the tropical evening air, and pulling the donor fans off the radiator I got given for the electric fan project on the truck

What line did you cut to Nibs Time to update the topic poll on which way you went

Went to turoa's.....mucked around quite abit haha.....rolled out the rear diff and changed a few things now we just have to roll it out one more time to finally weld it up fully etc.....also did the exhaust for the moment......Wopass it's RAD!!!! got a inspiration vid for you.....turoa's going to load it up

Woke up to a text from james at 8:30 in the morning saying he was here. Bastard

Then mucked around for a bit changing tyres etc then went to go and show a couple of guys around aotea. After that, we dragged the old burnt out car up to the place where people break in, and left it there so they cant

Then I went home to see what james had done. And he had managed to (with my brothers help) dent our daewoos bonnet (he pushed hit disco in with it ). Then we sorted out his exhaust (sounds awesome) and remounted all the rear mounts, and got the shock mounts tacked on.

During all that, we were driving the daewoo around our property on grass tracks. That was mean fun (we also took a muffler off, with a bank ).

I will upload the vid a bit later.

finially got a chance to do some more truck stuff... none of it on mine but still good

modified Mudda's new gearbox X member all ready to weld in verrrry cool if I do say so
Finished building my mini press brake and bent up the custom U bolts to hold his front axle on just got to thread them and make the top plate and all go
will post some pics tomorrow, taking day off (working wed) so I'll go get a new data cable for the cammera @$#%^& pup chewed the old one up

Oh and measured up a 70series cruiser for rear disks and a cable park brake as a swop for some bits for the Lemon super axles coming soon

Cheers Reece

where is that track spanky ? looks familiar :scratch:

Ooohh...and i bought some parts for my dizzy...bloody chev dizzy parts arent cheap are they ! just under $200 for a few bits of plastic ! !

blatted round the ashley with my brother on the atv and the dog running loose A truck/ATV/Dog all have different advantages.

Truck has got the weight in water but sinks in the loose shingle

ATV is good on loose stuf and tricky bits but looses it in deep water

Dog can go any where but takes a while to build up courage for the big water crossings and gets left behind on the fast tracks

Came home chasing the ATV at 80kph

Cleaned out the truck (was a pigsty from dusty roads, getting full of water last sunday, sand and shingle from recovery efforts, mud from the fun bits and one or two marbles from a mid week sheep transporting trip) Yep I carted a sheep in it this week, Tied its feet and threw it in on a wool fadge, then was called into the house where I was picking up from, came out and he had broken loose and was standing between the front and back seats , with dog's help we kept him in the back on the loose while we went home, even dropped the back window a bity for it to look out.

Truck is actually now washed vacumed and wiped out, then I filled it up with tools, a toilet, shower etc ready to cart down to work on the rental house this week (The original reason I bought the truck)
