WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

[jellybaby]

bloomin boy racers. cliped me with a wing mirror think he thought he would play chicken an i would move over there were parked cars on his side and he swerved round them, then had to mount the pavement on my side to avoid me caught me with his passenger side mirror on my passenger wing. smashed his wing mirror right off and the noise he made mounting the kerb at speed was loud and hopefully damageing.

[rippa2k]

Thats terrible! Not only does it cause you a problem, but it gives anyone with a lowered, bodykitted or big bored exhaust a bad name!! (cant you just tell I'm an aging boy racer?)

[jellybaby]

dont really mind what they term as boy racers they have some nice cars and many drive carefully to avoid damage its the same as everywhere a few morons and everybody gets sterotyped.

Look on the bright side, you get to show us how good you are with filler see every cloud has a linning.

Today I half lifted my LWB, 4 rear pucks in and bolts a few turns. Weather depending will get the rest in today. Oh I also modded the rad cowling to suite and drove to Wales to meet Chris and buy a LSD today was a good Fronty day

[Dave_RAYNET]

It does mate, will want a plate as its too big for welding up. If you do a real nice job and paint over it, filler may be your friend. Just make sure you give both sides a treat of paint or it will be obvious and the tester may get Mr.magnet out and rumble you.

was thinking about hammerite black on the bottom anyway lol

Now you see this is where we differ, i wouldn't have moved out of his way.

Last time i did that to someone the toss bag took out 3 parked cars..... he's still banned now....

well this is what i did today!! Stripped the Old Beast ready for the great fronty race in the sky. Im sorry to see him go but we dont live forever, he took one hell of a battering at some of the meets too but allways got home under his own steam. Farewell old friend!!!!!!!!!







The green fronty towing the trailer is Manny's dad, he helped take the engine out and strip the suspention down.

I got Stanley back today, he has been on a little holiday to Sir-Doris's for his MOT (BIG thanks to Phil ), and the most exciting thing is that the knob has been changed

For those of you that aren't sure of the history - thats the gear knob

ah cool... mine is currently called "~~~~~" although it's name tends to vary in severity depending on current mechanical issues. My vectra's name is currently banned under several international peace treaties and mentioning it here would probably get me beaten.

[cheekychick]

Stanley does have various alternative names as well

...Ooo, Alex, have you found a locking wheel nut key on your drive (tri-lock) - I seem to have mislaid it.

Folded down the rear seats and was amazed at the vast ammount of flat packed furniture from IKEA that would fit in it .
Now staring at a pile of boxes wishing I had charged the rechargeble screwdriver last night .
Still the beer is cold .

Got the last lift pucks in and sorted just to find the bloody Milners kit has 2 extra bolts M10 coarse and 2 short of the M10 fine blinds If it was the other way around I could compensate easy. Need to get me hands on 2 more as I cant go tightening up without starting the threads

[country_Est]

Alex,
Was this a Minlners 1.5" lift kit, Same as for the A series to be fitted to a B.

If so
When I did this on mine I phoned Milners and they sent 2 x 5.5" 10mm 1.25 bolts to me. (as I tried around here locally and could get the 1.5 (coarse) one OK)

I think at a push that if you insert the coarse ones 1/2 a turn to line up, drop the body back to the chassis, then tighten up all the others you may just about get them to fit. (if desperate). Other than that phone milners they were verry good with mine.

Cheers

Trev.

PS use the spare pucks as spacers for the rear bumper lift.

[alex]

They were my second line of defence, but Chris (Yakatar) has come to my rescue with a pair in the post.

Nice chap aint he?

[Sir-Doris]

Removed the adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Too much extra pipework and nothing to show for it.

Sorted out the rear tailgate glass opener as the rods and button to release it had become separated from each other.

Started to clean the door switches for the interior lights and when I was doing one of the front ones the wire became unclipped, the switch came away in my hand and now the other end of the wire is in the bodywork somewhere behind the seatbelt reel. Started taking it apart but it started getting late and I wanted my tea.

Trying to find the source of the dampness in the passenger footwell. Coolant isnt going down so its not the heater matrix. I suspect it may be a leak in the windscreen sealant somewhere.

Also found another leak, water is getting at the bottom of the trim in the boot door. All rubber seals are in good nick and the door is fitting perfectly. What could it be?

[mid77]

Didn't actually do anything to the car today but spoke to the very nice people at Milners Off Road and ordered some manual locking hubs. Now back to staring at my letter box for a couple of weeks
