went on down to BOC today and got some gas. along with other goodies like self locking mole grips! amazing :grin:! anyone who has done a project like this can tell you that there are highs and lows to it all, i was approaching a low then this happend and made me smile again!
i think it is all coming together pretty well! its the first time that i have truly felt Happy about it all!
the amazing molegrips that don't need to be adjusted! spent ages just seeing what they would and wouldn't grip on to!
as it was before the paint.....still not sure on the shiny black! but this is it after i ran a flap disk over it....some rather hideous welds i know but they have all penetrated! would like to invest in a nice 3phase MiG set and an AC/DC TIG plant but i cant afford to do that and continue with the truck so i think ill make do for the while.
boss:
today there was lots of swaring, decided id had enough of oil patches on the garage floor (started to look a bit messey...er)so i took the sump off and put some new goo on it. fingers crossed that will be that . i had never done the job before and looking back on it it was a stuped mistake but when i undid the drain plug i had the bowl under it waiting for it to trickle out......it [!Expletive Deleted!] out! all over my neck and right arm! will not be making that mistake again! also shed aload of things that wernt nessasary/broken, the doghnut thing and my steering damper was pretty mullerd so took that off too.
took a photo of the back end with the lights in and i now know it wont be long now :grin:
TDi90:
i have done that before, it goes EVERYWHERE :evil:
now i know where to strategically place the bowl about a foot further back from the sump lol
good work buddy looking gooooood :clap:
