What size jack do you need mate? I've got one of those basic repco ones, not sure how much they lift. I'll have a look when I get home.

I'm free Sunday if you need an extra set of hands.
My jack is here and the gearbox stand to go with it ...can get it to you if required . Can help Friday arvo after work , possibly Saturday morning also .
Mate, I'm pretty good this weekend too.....apart from basketball Saturday morning. I'll check with Victoria to make sure I haven't got any other major commitments but think it's all good.
I am down in Frankston tomorrow emptying my mums house out... I have not done enough prep work due to my car being pinched but I have to still sort the petrol and tidy up all of that gear but the engine is 95% done just need to fit the new clutch up...faarrkk that reminds me I need the bearing that sits inside the flywheel??? can anyone get that for me as I wont have time?Quote:

Checked my jack mate. It's just a small 420mm lift . if you need it I'll swing it over. Just let us know if it's any use to ya.
Love waking up with a sore back knowing I am going to be standing on concrete all bloody day!!!
Had a few to many beers last night so not the best preparation ??
Ok better get started hey..
Nothing wrong with too many beers!Quote:

Have you got everything you need ?...Do you have enough help?...Quote:

I can still be a go-for to get anything you need, as i still have a couple of hours up my sleeve, or bring my Floor Jack around if it is required.

Cool thanks mate... forgot I have to rip off all my locks on my house first to drop off and that reminded me the pricks that stole my other car have the keys for the GQ plus the central locking/alarm switch!!!!Quote:

Boots has just left my house (wish he was here all day) as he suppose to be at his daughters birthday but as he was getting in the car to leave he got a message saying she was running a temp of 40...... hope she is alright.
Boots is brilliant and does not stuff around. . Got the gearbox in place ready to lift in.. just need people here to help?
G'day Johnathon,
I wished i lived closer, has i would have definitely gave you a hand mate!
PS, all the best!
Regards,
Paul
Wish I could have hung around longer mate and help as much as my knowledge stretches. But work calls, and now I'm here doing jack all due to rain... Ironic!Quote:

I'll see how I do for time today mate. I'm at my nearly 101 year old grandmothers house doing the big cleanup as she has finally decided to go into a nursing home a few weeks ago. Only took us 30 years to convince her...So we have, as you can imagine, a heap of stuff to get through....
Dont bother.... I cant be f#cked with this place............................................. ..........................I'll do it all myself.
That's what I like to see....... Positive mental attitude
Well yep, Jonathan is positively mental!Quote:

Jeez some people are just soooooooooooo ungrateful ;):D
I've been trying to contact you to help too princess but no reply?
No hugs?

Sounds like someone needs a punch in the nuts rather than a hug :D
My comments were made out of frustration as I have not had a good time of late and though it seems like I am a clown and someone to be poked and laughed at I am bordering on serious melt down..
I made the mistake and should have started a whole new thread as discussed with AB to get some help this weekend..
To have my mum die and my car stolen and credit cards abused and a GQ that could not take anymore chemiweld it was all to much.
I did not want to rush getting my car together but having my wifes old car stolen has changed everything and I am worried I will lose some important contracts..
I did not have a chance to chase down people to help I just thought people would know that I desperately needed help and would show up... my wife bought food and drinks for everyone?
As for my car.... Boots is a legend and in the short time he was here he got heaps done then Drew turned up and was here for 9 hours and did not flinch at anything that needed to be done and stayed until the last ...
I was still fitting locks on my front door last night at 11.45am........
The car is 85-90% done but need to sort the petrol tanks??
Will sort that over the next couple of days.
My thoughts are with Boots and his wife whos little girl who's 10th birthday it is today is in hospital in a serious condition with severe pneumonia... as he left here yesterday he got a message saying his daughter had a temp of 40 degrees...
Meltdown over for now....................................

There are others in the same boat too, I am sure.
Book me in for next Saturday afternoon if you still need it....

Get a rental car Jonno to get around to those jobs mate, itll be a tax deduction also
Mate when I'm free I'd love to help but I'd probably just get in the way, only thing I'm good at his lifting shit and hitting stuff hard
Hey Jonathan, I'm sorry I have not been ale to help you mate, the whole Daddy Daycare is really smashing me mate. Getting me down and really tieing me to the house. The New business means Naomi is working long hours on the weekend and it locks me away.
I have not had the GQ out of the yard since the High country snow trip with you lot........ Whenever that was??? Sad days for me mate.
I know you have a heap on and have had a bloody bad run of it, most here know you have had it piled up. I agree with AB a separate thread asking for help would have been the go bud.
Do you still need a hand mate? If you do then put your hand up in a new thread and let's see if we can get you some help.
People hang a bit of shit on you Because they Like you Allot! Not because they think your an idiot. I appreciate it can get frustrating sometimes though, I have been on the receiving end of that too mate (not here) sometimes the line between humour and disrespect can be very blurred, we try and keep an eye on that line though. It's when people stop watching the line that it can get offensive.
Don't let it all get you down mate, you deserve way better than that.
I finally met this bloke after living stone throw away from him for ages. I went around and met him and boots, dropped off the jack, and had to go back to work. I know this sounds like another excuse but yeh, work is hectic now with no day off in sight for a while. Otherwise I'd have hung around longer and helped out as much as I can.
On that note hope Chris's daughter gets well as soon!
It's a huge shame mate as I know a lot of people would of helped out. Without stirring the pot there is a lot of dribble in your thread and I haven't been in here for a while and didn't even realise....bugger mate!
If you need help bud just start a new thread and let's get cracking!!!
You've been more than generous to a many folk here.

I'd be there too if I could mate. I owe you a favour or two from the Vic trip.
I'll say it again:
You're a good bloke that deserves good things. Hang in there mate all will be well, those good things will come.
Thinking of you from my couch

Mate, as I said earlier, I wish I was closer, I would have been there to do what I could. I have removed my earlier post. I too hope that Boot's daughter gets better soon.
Man I so wish I could have been there for ya when you needed it. You of all ppl deserved the help you needed especially at a time like that. Not that it helps you now but shout out if you still need a hand.
