WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

[Drift]

Rock and roll, Rob you will have the beastess read for the Bala Ball

[Sir-Doris]

been busy doing final prep for the garage (coming on monday). Cant wait... all excited now.

Started removing the middle crossmember to replace the rear gearbox mount as Im fairly sure thats what is causing the vibration as its still there even after I have replaced the centre bearing and prop UJ's. If not then Im stumped. As it turned out the UJ's were slightly worn and there is flex in the mount while the new one seems fairly stiff in comparison.

While removing the crossmember I had my first proper experience with butter bolts. A couple of the nuts welded to the chassis sheared off so Il have to get the grinder out tomorrow and whizz em off as I cant get in there with vice grips.

Still have to replace the damping donut ring thing as well since it seems to be perishing/cracking around the edges.

Front nearside wheel bearing replaced on the sport this afternoon.

Everything went really well (no grinders needed), but putting that circlip on (AVM hubs) - what a PITA.

All done now though bar a quick run over with a damp sponge and it'll be ready for Donnington

He didnt say the he ate the fish n chips....just bought fish n chips and drove home!!

Besides I believe that those ORANGE chips they have round truggas way count towards your 5-a-day!!

At least the car was washed before the soft top was retracted not after, otherwise truggs post would have read....
Bought fish and chips, and drove the chips home whilst the fish swam around the foot well!! :dance:

decided to start the 2.4 as its not been started since sept

put charged battery on and it started first turn so filled up with water ( drained for winter)and let it tick over
& it smoked like hell think the heater matrix has split as water in near side footwell and water leak from front of engine so ive decided to scrap it

the rad and front head/spot lights will go in garage as spare's the wheel/tyres are going on the sport's took them off yesterday and put some old steeley's on the rear lights are going on the sports as conversion

im gonna take the fuel tank out as the sports has a slight leak from where the filler pipe bit comes out of tank (part of main tank) not rubber pipeing

a bloke up the road will take it to scrap yard but will bring the wheels back

should all be done by end of march

I didnt do much to my car today other than fix the horn, well strictly not true I robbed Andysd1's horn

While I was attacking Livewires car with spanners and hammers Andy washed my car bless him, he was a bit shocked at the mud stain it left outside his house though.

I left them at about 1930 they where fighting with getting jack from under the car, was a great afternoon good laugh if you dont mind flatulence

Yeah not asa much as the mud all over my truck and as far as flatulence is concerned i make no apologies better out than in

[Drift]

Arhhhhh the sweet smell of thanks

[Livewire Frontera]

Well with the kind help from Drift and supervision from Andysd1 changed the lower passenger side ball joint as it was shot then realised that the drivers side was a week off being the same way so we changed that too a lot of laughs (mainly at my expense) very long day but i haven't had so much fun on a sunday in a long time thanks for all your help you guys

[Drift]

Hows it driving no Lee ?

I take it the battery charged up

[Livewire Frontera]

oh yeah and charged the battery as andy left the drivers door on the latch all day without realising and flattened the battery as far as the drive home is concerned........ the tracking is no longer out (took some getting used to) smoother ride, less road noise and no creaking at all and handles better too

[andysd1]

Hows it driving no Lee ?

I take it the battery charged up

put it this way him and kaz can go the beach, and not disturb any one else, the only squeaking will be him when she attacks

[Drift]
