[Finly Owner]

Thanks Col
Sits comfortably on 120k on highway if I want to loose some cash, but much prefer the 110k stuff.
Need still to do some work and still add the extras.
Juggling work, other people wanting my help, keep the mrs happy with stuff she wants done and general yard maintenance.
Leaves me 0.5hrs in my 30hr day or relate that to me having 1 day in my 10day week.

But all you guys know what I mean?

[Finly Owner]

Have got the tyres on at long last. The shake has almost diminished. Bought two shackle pins to go infront leafs next day off. Will get new sway bar rubbers monday. Rest of suspension needs some grease to stop some nyathene squeaks. And the look @ king pins/ swivel hubs.

[Finly Owner]

These will make great addition to Finly Tim (I really like your new steering wheel BTW)

Steering wheel has been abandoned, cracked and only one tiny centre horn push and too small really, so will be on look out for GC original.

Tyres are on.

[Bigrig]

Looking forward to seeing it mate ...

[Finly Owner]

Well, have decided FINLY is old, needs some real TLC. So looking at buying engine rebuild kit for him. Still haven't put shackle pins in but should get their in next couple of days if no rain. Wobble is still there when it wants to announce itself. But I will proceed to improving him and giving him long life. Once I get the rebuild kit I will have to work out how to get to work while heart is out of body. Do head, sleeves, pistons & rings. Next year I will try for the exhaust bigger and get Tony(if he agrees) to help me set boost on turbo.

[YNOT]

Are you sure you don't want to do that first, it might save you a second engine rebuild!!!

Tony

[Finly Owner]

Are you sure you don't want to do that first, it might save you a second engine rebuild!!!

Tony

Please explain... too the not quite with it
Tim

[YNOT]

I was only joking, I won't wind the boost that high! You need to fit your boost and pyro gauges first.

Tony

[Finly Owner]

B4 rebuild?

[YNOT]

Gauges before boost.

Tony

[Finly Owner]

Here was a day trying to tow this holden from on side of creek to other. It had flat tyres and laden with spare parts.

The paddock was soaked and we had to goaround trees, turn down into creek and up the other side which was slippery mud, with out sucking in water(no snorkel or pipe into guard.
Dozer rescued ute and Finly drove out after backing down into creek and taking run up at bank. Photos don't do credit for how wet it was. The side the photographer is standing is sand, not mud. Weird place my mate owns.

[Clunk]

great action shots there mate, I haven't seen green grass like that in years, specially in summer lol, looks fantastic

[TheFlyingBadger]

Well, give it about 6 weeks until I'm settled into the new joint (move in 30th June) and you can bring it to my joint - 12x9 shed, compressor, airlines, tools and most importantly, a hoist already in place!!!

If I can't stuff it up for you - no one can!!! lol

Offers out there - over to you.

[Silver]

what a place, Scotty, I can't imagine how the previous occupant left, unless to a difficult to imagine upgrade, or feet first in a bag :-)

Does it come with a house as well?? :-)

If it is on, and I can make it, I volunteer to be beer runner :-). I can even boil a kettle and dunk a tea bag. All I require is a place with a view to put my chair :-) I figure I'll be kept flat out beer running and thus will need a blower in the chair as often as possible.

I would offer to be the spanner swapper too, but sadly, due to lack of practice I have lost the skill of picking the exact si2e required every time :-(

[aussiemale]

Finly, sorry to be a pain, but when you get a chance, could you take a couple of close up shots of the hinge where your wheel carrier is attached to the body. Trying to get as many ideas on what/how/where I'm going to set up my spares. Set up will be on a tailgate set up, not barn door.
