After speaking with Darren last night, it's all systems go for 24th Feb finish.
Will you need me to come along Darren to change CVs for you?
And how many years after this first trip will it be off the road for?Quote:

A bit over a year Winnie. Nothing broken but needed to get some more bar work on it to try and keep the panels straight.Quote:

I scored another Bonnet with the snorkel which was already cut for the through bonnet snork but as is often the case the guy have just hacked out the hole with his teeth and left it exposed with rough edges. It was never going on my car like That!!!!
So off with the bonnet today and I cleaned it up

Used some cardboard and shaped it into the cut and marked put a template.

Used that to trace out on an old piece of roof cut I have here and poached some panel out of it.

I got the mig out and tack welded. Played around with the welding settings alot which was great to tune it in for Panel steel. NO I took no pics of welds [emoji14]
Looks pretty good. I ground it nice and neat. I sprayed it with a primer and can see I need t9 touch up a couple of sections of weld that I ground out. There ain't much steel there!!
Looks heaps better

have you got one of them new arials that pick up the radio(wireless) through the windscreen....and ya fenders dirty..make it white again
Darren, you are very clever dude, hats off to ya! Well beyond my skillset and certainly beyond my fear of F***UP threshold. Need to get a 240V mig tho as even with my super arc welder, this thin stuff is beyond me.
Nah I have one of those short rubber aerials from Super Cheap. I would not run anything else. It takes a beating in the bush. Yeah I scored another passenger front quarter off a guy without the snorkel hole. I am going to repaint the car in the next few weeks as all quarter panels are damaged and have been repaired. Need a paint.Quote:

So as it goes, I'd been grinding away. Thought I smelt someone light up a tobacco pipe which was weird!!
Nup!! I lit the bloody backyard behind me!! Fortunately the grass is short and sparse.
Damn!! It had travelled across the front of the shed and was burning low between the shed and the GQ!!!
WTF!!

Got a bit more done over the weekend. Starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I moved the the radiator 9ver flow bottle forward because I could n9r get the air filter out damn it. I also had to move and remount the pump for the water to air IC which was in the way. NO pics.
I installed the wiper washer bottle and the Battery!!! This is a big deal! We have power now!

Very very happy.
Getting there gents.
Went for a drive with Lights last night and it out a bit of a fire as we did some challenging stuff just to get a feel for it. I was Navi in his 80 which has been parked for a while too. Had a great night.
Well and truly getting there now gents. A few crappy jobs I have been putting off are now sorted.
I have completed the wiring for the 24v and installed trhe excite circuit to trigger the 24v alternator through the ignition. Stoked.

I used the ignition source from the back of the cig plug for the 24v relay switch and replaced the cig plug with a dual 2.1amp USB plug for the win.
I also fitted another twin 2.1 usb to the back of the console and a 24v Anderson plug to run the Engel on 24v cause I can.

Lol yeah not sure how that happened! I think I ordered it with the free Spool and it is what was sent. I'm not too worried. I can't really see it but man I need to drive this thing. If it suits me too much I will swap it out. I should see if the old switch covers fit?
Christ man, don't ever pick on anything in my car ever again, including wiring...lol
Nah mate, glad to see the passion is back, looking forward to be a winch bitch in the beast one day!
Hey Daz do you have a link for the dual 2.1A USB charger?
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Yeah mate just search "dual 2.1 usb" in eBay and there are quite a few. There is one with a volt meter in the middle which looks good but I dsint.need for $20 and what I got in a few colours for under $15 each.Quote:
