WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

Fitted new thermostat, fitted manual switch for rad fan.

Today I learnt to drive without a clutch. There are some Bstards about, you leave room to coast to an Island and retards fly up the inside to cut you up :evil:

If I was in the red un I'd of clipped one or two to proove the point.

Treated the various rust patches on the chevy/brava fings bodywork with rust neutraliser...ready to start prepping around the body.
Plan to sort the body, getting it straight and rust free a panel a time, flicking it back in after in the stock colour.
Then when the body is all sorted (with it still lookin half sensible in the meantime) I can etch it, base it in black and will leave me loads more time for crazy air brushing and metalflaking!!

Bugger Dan... A decent used one wont be more then 100 quid if that helps. Altho Alex is the man to talk to when it comes to going places in 2wd and when I broke my front diff at Stainby last year I drove around for nearly a whole day before I realised it was broken ;-)

well the big day is upon me.

its axle changing day wish me luck. changed leafs before but never a complete rear axle... (gup...gup)
should be fun not. anyway thats me for the rest of the day.

gave it a good wash [sorry no photos] and then painted my brake calipers
front

back

had the drivers window apart
as the glass jumped out of the holders and the scissors mechanism got twisted

Unstuck a rear caliper and cleaned out the drain holes in the doors, I heard water sloshing around, couldnt believe how much water came out the passenger door :shock:

well i drove mine 135 miles :roll:

Replaced the off-side head lamp on the Sport (following and advisory at the MOT) and replaced the air horns - they now work at the same time, rather than one after the other.

Met Jueomega, when he popped round for a coffee today as down this neck of the woods.

We then went for a play in the chevy/brava fing...did a spot of cliff climbing, went and had a gander at my mates military vehicle gathering and got the truck stuck in his farm pond...much to Jueomega's amusement...the mud was a bit deeper than I reckoned, we havent driven it yet this year....and it STUNK!
Got dragged out backwards by matts disco and bent the towbar/bumper... :lol:

Prop UJ is now really making a racket... :shock:

Then spent an hour and a half cleaning the truck...and then another 1/2 hour cleaning the road!! :axe:

Good fun and nice to meet Jueomega...Call by again when you are down this way again mate, we will use your car next time...its only fair!!! :shock:

Washed the fronty got all the muck off the bottom, then washed the Picasso and it rained as I got the soap on it :roll:

Then it was painting and rebuilding Jess's bedroom :roll:

Got bleeding soaked, then it went off I lit the BBQ it rained again, thought sod it weather aint winning so the rain gave up and sun came out for lunch :wink:

I washed the old girl and gave the underneath a good powerwash. I let the rain do the rinsing as it started chucking it down just as I was finishing up.
