Pics are useless with video these days... Looks awesome Phil didn't know you had it back on the road yet. I will try make time to get over and see it myself soon. Got a few jobs coming up over that way again this coming year.

Mat, you want a video of a bonnet scoop - really? or are you talking about the noise it makes? I am working in QLD/NT so give me a call first though. Home until Jan 15.Quote:

I worked out that it was cheaper for me to buy spares than get re-sprays, so...….. got another passenger door and bonnet. Got another A/C compressor, too.
Now I'm in the process of saving up to have them all fitted. lol

Someone on Facebook has been trying to off load a heap of tools including two paslode nail guns for $150 the lot , everyone must have thought they were stolen because they advertised for the last three weeks with no one interested .
Thought I'd get in touch just for curiosity and see what the story was and it was a builder who had replaced his tools and was short of cash and emptying his shed .
Fixing and framing gun both work will get a photo of the whole deal after the minister of war and finance has had a few sherries but until then have hidden it all in the shed .
Finally in 2020 have outsmarted Larry the carnivorous prick!

Firies got to my daughters property just outside Bruthen and water bombed it as flames were within 20m of the fence line - saved the place at midnight on Dec 30, not a scorched twig on their place - amazing effort and timing impeccable, no doubt due to some astute planners and people on the ground - Thank you CFA, you made our family start to 2020 more peaceful and certain. Thoughts are with the fire crews and families and those who are displaced and have lost their homes.
Phil, had to go back and look at your pic posts even once more again, something to be proud of. Really good mate.Quote:

She said it was eerie driving down the highway and livestock was wandering all over the place, no one around, everything black and charred - and heavy dense smoke, ash everywhere. I don't think they can stay there at the moment, busy emptying the fridge - poor buggers just did their monthly shopping trip the day before, so most lost.Quote:

Sorry to hear that Ross, I trust they are ok though - evacuated in time? This is going to continue for some time I think. The front line guys are getting smashed and will need a break sooner rather than later.Quote:

Some of you may may know, @Sprock has had a tough time recently given his truck motor needed to be replaced, a mere 50k for the bill, also on the way to pickup the fixes up truck his patrol radiator decided to let go so that was off the road also.
I offered to donate my radiator from my patrol as he's also had a slow year for work and after all other expenses his family wagon was going to have to wait till things got better.
Took a drive down there yesterday and low and behold, sprock is in the midst of arranging to take 6 semi trailers of hay to the farmers up near Buchan as their paddocks are all scorched and there is no food for their herds.
After installing the radiator, I jumped in with sprock and we headed over to a couple of farmers places. Both had agreed to donate 10 large bales each with the plan to swing past a third person to fill the remainder of the truck. both blokes ended up donating more than the original quota, with the second insisting he wanted to just put on as much has as could possibly be fit.
I only got to see the generosity from these fellas, but I wanted to say how awesome it is to see that there are still people out there who can do stuff like this, including legend old mate @Sprock

Whilst this makes me happy visiting my old haunts, it's bloody awful what going on for a lot of folk in Oz, thoughts go out to all affected and all involved in the fighting of fires and dealing with the logistics of everything. Take care all.

Look forward to putting some smiley faces here soon.
That’s great news John. No excuses now mate when we do a forum meet up then!Quote:

Used Car Builders peel and stick heat and acoustic shield mat'l against firewall and their embossed heat shield for stand off around dump pipe. As I now use FM IC, have replaced bonnet scoop with rear facing louver panel (600x300mm) what a difference in engine bay temp and transfer thru into cabin.
Hope all safe.
Thanks for the reply. I am thinking about the embossed alum. foil as well for my firewall. I used their felted material under the bonnet to great effect. Trust you are in good shape and out of harms way.Quote:
