WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

[gregster]

Dave...that tailgate I have wont fit your car mate...yours has the later tailgate with the upswept bit and curved glass, this one I have is straight on top. Sorry fella...

[alsavs]

Took it for its mot today and failed. A couple of things need sorting but it also requies some welding on all 4 corners due to structure corrosion that is within 30cm of the body mountings. Any advice would be helpful

Bugger........it only looked like you scuffed the wheel cover

Wish I had only scuffed the wheel cover,as it would be an easy fix.

I reversed into one of those stupid traffic bollards that is in car parks with our truck,the bollard came of worse as I took it completely out of the ground.

I know I will get stick for this.

I'm saying nothing......

I received my parcel from Greg, and fitted two bits need to take the wing apart (kinda) to fit the washer pump.

Cheers Greg much appreciated

I've got a mate who does welding and he is going to check it out tomorrow. His mig only goes down to 40 amps and he thinks that might be to high but need to see where it requires welding first and check the thickness of the metal.

Bobster,I am sorted with a tailgate,as a mate of mine was in a scrappies yesterday and phoned to tell me that he got me a tailgate and hopefully get it tomorrow but not sure when I will get round to fitting it or just get the brothers girlfriends dad to fit it but many thanks though.

That will be fine...I have a 185 amp murex that I run on about 1/2 power for bodywork stuff with 6mm wire sooner than 8 for thicker work.

Cheers for that Greg. We are thinking of fitting a cladding sill just on the rear sections of both sides if they do such a thing and any ideas the best place to get them.

[gregster]

It will be a case of making something up mate...just bend a piece of steel to the right shape and weld it over the top. Make sure you cut all the rot out and treat it before over plating though, or in a couple of years time your plate will fall off and the hole behind will then be the same size as your plate!

Cheers for the info Greg

Today I fitted my new seats I got off ratcav.
I believe Those come from a nissan 300 ( Neal will conform this )
The drivers seat has 3 air bags in the back to support lumbar back & adjustable side wings
I had to modify the base so I could fit the runners from the original seats.

The 3 bottoms for the air bags & the wing adjuster

Today I changed all the fuel lines on the DTI from the filter back but it hasn't made any difference grrrrrrr

[snapper]

New set of tyres onto Truck and the old ones from truck went onto O-no. Both trucks now have the same tyres fitted so should make things easier now.

[Hawkmoon]

Fitted a replacement windscreen washer motor... and both ABS sensors, and now the dash has one less light glowing! hurra
