I thougth i would repair the rust spots on my bonnet this weekend , rubbed the whole lot down fixed the rust spots all looked good then decided to paint the whole bonnet ... there isnt enough swear words in the world to describe the mess that two pack paint can cause if you put it on incorrectly ans have to rub it all down on a Sunday and discover you havent got enough top coat S*&T.

O-no... Took the leaky rear diff cover off and fitted one that I had welded up earlier. Now to fix the one that came off. Oh and re-filled the diff with fresh oil too...
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered  ) Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left hereWork in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'Truck'Comments on 'Truck' the truck may be left hereOwning a 2.8 is a hobby in it's self...
