Lovely! How does that stuff feel compared to car builders acoustic liner?

Very happy..
Sweet, happy days. The dynamat I used did a good job at giving the car a solid feel and stop vibrations, but I think it was the foam that made the biggest sound deadening. Vast improvement!
That's what I was thinking to. So yea I'll be laying strips of the butyl Mat threw the car and then smothering with the foam..
Can't wait..
Fitted the new bottle and motors, took ages to clean all the crap out of the pipes........ But man am I happy, after 3 years, I sat in the car and just played with the washers, front and rear and have had to fill up the bottle twice, sad I know but I'm sure the novelty will wear off eventuallyQuote:

My car is already quiet to drive in and the wiper washers work too.
Been a bit slow posting. Recently fitted C/O injectors, new glow plugs & adjusted tappets & timing ( Denco Wagga ) . Fitted 2" lift - Lovells coils, EFS Leaves & shocks , greaseable shackles , replaced all bushes & coil insulators ( Wodonga Spring Works ). Fitted EGR blanking plate, flushed intercooler out & removed butterfly ( Old Wal ). Took a quick test run to Innaminka via Mungo, Menindee, Tibooburra, Cameron Corner etc (3300 km in 7 days). All went well. Averaged 14.8Ltrs / 100 km with slide on camper fitted.
We'll just end up with tougher, quieter, metal cars..Quote:

're installed the front shocks. It's actually drivable now. Lol
Cut out the rust and treated the area, weld in a piece tomorrow, then retreat it and paint it.
Then sound deadening... Yay..
haven't installed it yet but picked up my long range sub tank to be fitted for the simpson trip, also a couple of 100 amp isolators for the wiring and a 1500watt inverter for the cappuccino machine, gettin sorted slowly.
Love it! A cappuccino machine in the middle of the Simpson. Who'd have thought that was going to be the norm soon.
We took one of those little Nespresso pod machines on our last trip up the Cape. Was bloody nice to wake up to. It wrung the neck out of the 2Kva Honda though, but worked a treat.
You can buy a 12v espresso pod thing these days. Anyone got one?Quote:

It's in the grey matter to be done. But then so are few things.Quote:

Sorry Ben mine is 240v hence the inverter, the pod machine was $99 and the inverter was $98.99 but will wait to see the quality once it's installed to see how it handles the coffee machine.Quote:

I let my GU sleep in this morning......no work today"......yahooooooooo
No worries. Might do a bit of a search on 12v pod machines though. I dragged the pod machine out of the kitchen for the last trip, which could have dramatically shortened its life.Quote:
