I did this today

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=23068

fitted new plastic trim and mudflap on rear arch, off road damage. shortened towbar, took spare off back door, now rebuilding winch. time for :drink:

i brought some connectors for the wireing and some paint to do the bumpers

I sold mine!

mine got morphed in to a taxi again :evil:

running family around

I did rear pads and removed the front prop. Given how cold it was thats enough for me.

well i finally have a oil pressure needle working, changed the switch,
and general check all fluid levels,

I coveted a 2.8 in Asda car park :oops:

I swapped the wheels over off the old truck to the new one, that was enough for me too!!

I've got to that point again where I just wanna go out and get another one but until I have my DVLA medical I don't wanna commit myself to buying one just in case

It wont be long :wink:

well today i started to clean the boot out on trusty but got side tracked coz my little un had the play station on and i been playing guitar hero 111 all afternoon :roll:

didnt do any thing wife says no :!:

cant even drive it we have to use her car because she doesnt like my driving

i spliced an ariel cable together so i could have some tunes but it's not great so i can see a WHOLE new one going in when the weather gets better cos i'm gonna rip the centre console out and re-arrange all my aux kit wires NEATLY :lol:

I added a new rear work lamp(still needs to be wired up) put new URL Sticker on the back window, graphics on the bonet deflector and tried to come up with a way of getting my shackels to fit on the rear...Tomorow may be playing in the snow, fingers crossed.

Well today it got used for transporting party food,balloons and stereo to a local church hall for my sons 6th birthday party where we did traditional games,pass the parcel,musical chairs etc.But earlier this week, I took the side steps off which were rotting and only left two snapped off bolts in the chassis.I then nearly fell out the first time I got out as my foot felt automatically for the step! I think it looks better without them and its saving a bit of weight.I stuffed it full of thick branches, twice this week,to be sawn up for the woodstove at my forge.My older son said "what have you had in here dad?"its got of bits of bark everywhere in it.I also made a card mock up of the lockers I am thinking of making.Puzzled over the electrics in the new back door and thought of doing lots of other stuff but it'll have to wait.

well i spent most of the day replacing all brake pipes and feul lines as failed mot on two of the brake pipes at rear so thought well s@@ it will do all new pipes and then why not do fuel pipes too ???
well nearly done ( dad assiting and keeps asking silly questions )
if your gonna do it do it proper he says so all pipes are wire bound and bends are all protected too
( father used to build racing cars)
once done never to be done again is his motto
