And a job well done!!
Well got car back from Biders and to say it short words was told my loom was fu**ed and car wouldn't run so he hot wired it.
So got car home and pulled my dash out and removed my Car Alarm and every wirer that was running to inside car. Ended up repairing coil side of loom with 2nd hand loom i got and reconnected power wire off ignition barrel
So in other words my car is Stock inside with a fresh Dash so no CAR PC or UHF no nothing will wire all that after my car has gone into somewhere for a Tune up. But smurf is running and Driving took its for its first road drive in 6 months today and loved it happy to have my car back :D

Well heading off to SA tomorrow for 13days to play on the beaches n dunes up the Coast from Robe to Beach port and beyond
Will try update with pic's as i go along.
Good spot youll have a ball!!!
Well here's a update on my coastal drive up Beach Port to Robe and beyond.
Left Friday night getting us to Robe around 8am Saturday morning at our camp site so we set up and had a quick relax n a snooze due to the 7hr straight drive we just did.
Then we went for quick play on the beach with some swimming then back to camp Sunday was hole day of site seeing an relaxing n swimming again.
Then Monday we started our trip down the coast from Beach Port taking on some awesome beach driving and some fantastic scenery.
Till i decided to fly smurf over a sand dune a little bit to fast n landing head onto into another sand dune bending my steering column and smashing my panard bushes to bits.. Car was still drive able just had notch steering and death wobbles on open highway.
Once back at camp he chilled down with some beers watching the sunset and making the decision to head home Tuesday as my car was no longer able to drive the beaches and dunes.
Even know i had to cut the trip early we still all saw some awesome sites and drove along some awesome coastal beaches and recovering a bloke from W.A that was wheeling the sandy beaches on his own with wrong tyre pressure that lead him bogged to his diffs and wasn't going anywhere he was very thankful that we had come along as he had no idea how he was going to get out other wise.
Now for some Pic's.....

Well over last week ive been giving the front end a make over.
Got bored with my front tube bar so bought my self a On Track 4x4 bar witch was suited to a 76mm longer hi mount drum.

Winch has 50mts of rope on it atm room for nothing 10 or 15mts 8)
Well after my little accident last year i stuffed my light bar n light bar rack.
So i finally got off my ass and took my light bar back to shop as it still under warranty and got it fixed they replaced the internals from 3w cree globes to 5w cree globes with was nice of them and i didn't have to pay any extra. :D
So over weekend as i got my light bar back Thursday i picked up a cheap rhino rack and modded it to take my light bar on it.
So i finally have lots of awesome light again. BRING ON NIGHT RUNS IN THE SNOW.
