WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

[rancidrich]

Put the front wheels back on tessie today ready for tomorrow,
Had to remove them to lower the front end enough to fit the engine back in(im only a short arse and couldnt reach the engine to bolt it back in )
Tomorrow,weather permiting, she should be up and running again,(at last ,as i havnt driven her for three months now )

[Krusher]

Installed the CB in the truck ready for tomorrow and put the rear window in the boot for Retro Pedro now otherwise
I will forget it in the morning...

Drove it into the garage and I sprayed the bonnet lip with hammerite to tidy it up then attcked the front bumpers. Hoover out and a wipe down inside next once the paint dry`s it still wet here that annoying rain thats like a fine spray soaks everything . Getting it sort of presentable for a scottish vauxhall owners meet on sunday.
Domino if your reading this i want no complaints about the rusty spots on sunday or about it needing polished

I thought today that I would put the towbar electrics onto the bumper! I thought it would be soooo easy to do - simple job - but when I stripped it off the electrics had melted!! (Tow and caravan electrics).
I got the caravan electric plug done fine - eventually - but the tailgate electric point was a nightmare!!!!!!
Still cannot get it right - all the electrics in the truck are now totally blown - down to a bad earth! Must have got wet with all the fording I have done!!
Are there any auto electricians in the area?????
