Sorry Thunder,

We went out on Satruday around Tyers, and Moondarra area. Bit of everything, mud, steep climbs, dirt, rock, etc. Still need to give the car a clean, though the rain has made a start for me. :)

Beigewagon.
 
Spent about 6 hours giving my Forry a really good clean today :) including the inside :huh: which included a vacuum :eek::eek: (I'm surprised I could remember how those things worked) :lol:

I also gave it a polish & wax too :ebiggrin:

On top of that, I started polishing the bull bar aswell.
I only got the hoops done before I ran out of light :rolleyessarcastic: With a bit of luck, I'll finish off the rest of the bull bar tomorrow :iconwink:

Regards
Mr Turbo

You know when I offer people a ride in the passenger seat, for some reason people are always willing to come along. :lol:
 
Front struts in :monkeydance:, rear struts not in :cry: cant undo the lower bolts, they are tight mothers.

It also looks like the puddles of oil are comming from the rocker covers :ebiggrin:, I'll get some gaskets today

I had the same problem with 1 of my bolts. Try letting some "Penetrene" soak in overnight, I've found its the best one to loosen stuck bolts or nuts.
We used a spanner with a 4' pipe as an extension & 2 of us hanging off the end. Man, you should've seen that spanner bend lol :eek: I was sure it was gonna snap, but eventually we got it loose.
 
I finally got a chance to finish off polishing my bull bar today :cool:
What a difference a little bit of elbow grease makes :raspberry:

Here's a before & after pic :)

I had similar results when I bought my bar and polished it. Of real concern though is what has happened to Damo- he must be getting married. First he washed the car- now he has polished the bull bar. What's next- a Baby on Board sticker?

I can almost see Damo one day in his old age as the later day Ted Bullpit. The Forrie- you're not taking the Forrie- I've just polished the inside of the snorkel! Still, even in his old age I'm sure Damo will make sure it is sealed and properly secured to the car. He's got a fair way till then of course

Thats brilliant, I love it :lol:

Funny you should say that, because I felt like Ted Bullpit today, when I found out the price for a new key less entry module :huh: :cry: :eek:
All I could think of was "somebody should blow Subi Dealer's price lists up" :bananagunner:
Just kidding

Today I'm in the middle of putting on some lights... Found some Hella lights at a garage sale here for $10!! they're old but work fine. And I bought some unused monza lights for $25 as spreaders, el cheapos but I don't care, the Hella's were such a bargain I couldn't help but buy the cheapies to make my suby a road melting machine :lol:
 
Took the car in today to the panel beaters to get my rear passenger door and panel behind it repaired. Got dented up pretty good against a stationary object in an evasive maneuver, avoiding being front ended by a moron.

Now THAT is serious elbow grease!

Sure it wasn't helped along by a bit of 'electric elbow' grease?
