The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
Bunch of women you lot are, I never needed to use a hoist for my gearbox rebuild
So if all this work is getting done now, what work are you doing at AB's place or you lot just going around there to drink his beer???????????
The list is long. So Toddie if you were offered a hoist would you do the next one on the ground? Or use a workshop generously offered?
At 7pm on Easter Saturday we are doing OK.
There is a heap to do next weekend and we choose to do this this weekend for safety. This will allow for the car to be worked on in other area next week.
Plenty is socializing too next week.

I am buggered.. not from today so much but I went shooting last night and got to sleep after 3am then the little one woke bright and early.. oh the pain.
I did enjoy myself though swapping stories and occasionally lending a hand to George who is a Nazi control freak!!!
No really George is brilliant and has been so generous with his time with this build,no rush jobs here and everything and been done professionally and with patients.
Daz and I chewed the fat from our motorcycling days and bored the crap out of the young fella's ... good to bore the young ones!!!!
Found heaps of small problems that might have been in issue if we were not in a full workshop and lucky we were there.
George your a champ mate big thanks to mate and johno, daz and everyone that has made this possible just got home been a long day just can't explain how good all of this is and how much I appreciate the time money and attitude from everyone it's fantastic and your all just great people thanks a lot guys and girls
