WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

done a bit more rubbing and painting, just the boot to rub down

Took mine for the dreaded MOT.

It Passed

Rock on

brought a new set of plugs then found i didnt have a plug spanner narrow enough to slide down far enought to reach the plugs so more expense :oh yer:

took off the rather crud filled belly pans to try & pin point any leak im hoping it is just the muck blown out of the then loose exhaust manny
cleaned the icv only for the tick over to of actually gone slightly higher

ill do the euro tomorrow cos my lucks gota change :lol:

Filled her with fuel, 3rd tank since Bala and used 5 days a week :shock:

Just had a set of 4 235/70/16 INSA TURBO TRACTION TRACK TYRES fitted, They look the nuts and are not to loud on the road. Just got to wait for some mud now!!! Brake Pads tomorrow.

some more rubbing and priming

Nothing interesting for me, replaced the wiper blades (£1.98 from wilko's each 19"), found that rear one seems to not wana work so will investigate sometime

Replaced rear speakers with the ones out of a hifi that the kids broke

not so much that ive done more a case of what ive brought - 12v cool box [ the last 1 ] from uncle tesco for half price £15, i knew my luck had to change

Bort and fit my cb

After purchasing my new tyres over a week ago - Kingpin Amazon MT (265/65 R16), I finally got them fitted today. The Chugga Waggon looks mint now :!:

Just tidied her up, sorted my tools and put 2 lil torches in the glovebox (always handy!) then turned her around in car park to make an easy get away tomoz for the MOT station though i think i need to change the rear diff oil

just fitted 2 shackles to the front of car. and trimmed the front bumper.

Got it MOT'ed today, passed perfectly, also filled her up a bit with some diesel

In a while gona go out and wirebrush the tank guard more ready for painting

Took a spin up to Southport and picked up a spare alternator for a fiver from a Trooper 3.1 :dance:

Then me Lee and Jess took to walking some footpaths that led to the pub :drink:

What did I do today ???????????

CAUSED A BLOODY RIOT BY SELLING ME WHEELS & TYRES !!!! :axe:

Right, I'm logging off quick, before they all lynch me !!!! :axe:

My back caliper (drivers side rear) has ceased today!! Could not move it! So i thought it would be a bright idea to take apart and have a go myself - I thought wrong! Its still in bits! I have spent nearly 7 hrs on it - trying to get it back together and now I have given up! I have taken the break pads out and put the caliper back on, and its going to ATS on Monday, as they quoted me 70quid for the back breaks.
After I get it all mended its going! I have had enough!!!!
There is only so much time and money one person can spend on this 666 truck!! :twisted:

Bought a new one :mrgreen:

oops..

1998 2.2 sport...

watch space for details - its getting it - MOD style..

ps - anyone put a v8 in a fronty?

Jason, you going the Midlands meet tomorrow? if so bring the caliper I will bring the rewind kit.
