Bloody Aussie put the call out

Healy needed Help and Nissanpatrol.com.au really came to the Party.

Members stood up and made generous contributions to the cause and the money started adding up. Ol mate Jas put his hand up and the we have been blown away by the how much help and comradary being displayed by our members.

Brett from 4x4 Obsession stood up and gave some quality parts desperately needed.

The list is long. So Toddie if you were offered a hoist would you do the next one on the ground? Or use a workshop generously offered?

At 7pm on Easter Saturday we are doing OK.

There is a heap to do next weekend and we choose to do this this weekend for safety. This will allow for the car to be worked on in other area next week.

Plenty is socializing too next week.

I see your supervising there BA

is this a good angle for your piccy

Would not need to think about it Daz, workshop on a hoist........would of been a much easier job...............I would even wear my skirt and high heels is I had the offer 2 a workshop :)

I have plugged Bretts workshop on my FB and NP's face book page :):):) and can you send me Georges details too when u get a chance so I can plug his workshop as well :) or get George 2 send them 2 me please

Does this mean early finish next Saturday and afternoon wheeling.

Well done lads and all who donated parts, workshops and their time.

Pulled the pin at 9pm when the gearbox support needed a Helicoil.

George will go back Easter Sunday for. Couple of hours to finish it, fill the fluids and bleed the new clutch.

9.45 pm and pulled into Maccas on the ring rd for some dinner. 45mins from home.

Been a big couple of days.

Getting there

Not a chance mate....... plenty still to do!!!

I am buggered.. not from today so much but I went shooting last night and got to sleep after 3am then the little one woke bright and early.. oh the pain.

I did enjoy myself though swapping stories and occasionally lending a hand to George who is a Nazi control freak!!!

No really George is brilliant and has been so generous with his time with this build,no rush jobs here and everything and been done professionally and with patients.

Daz and I chewed the fat from our motorcycling days and bored the crap out of the young fella's ... good to bore the young ones!!!!

Found heaps of small problems that might have been in issue if we were not in a full workshop and lucky we were there.

Thanks guys and good luck tomorrow.

George your a champ mate big thanks to mate and johno, daz and everyone that has made this possible just got home been a long day just can't explain how good all of this is and how much I appreciate the time money and attitude from everyone it's fantastic and your all just great people thanks a lot guys and girls

Not home yet lol thanks guys i'll continue when i put my feet up

Thanks guys for all your help i appreciate it, i generally don't have helpers while working but with over 250kg's above your head the extra hands help heaps!!

I'm disappointed that i couldn't finnish the job tonight but tomorrow is another day and i had to consider Anthony and Darren had over an hour to drive home thats why we stopped at 930. I'll get stuck into it tomorrow and get it done!

Cheers guys and thanks for your help !!!

Well done guys it is a big job. When I did my engine rebuild had to do it in the old mans garage and would have loved to have had a workshop.

Aside from the fact that you're a butt ugly lookin' crew ........... you're doing a top job & all praise to everyone making it possible. Good stuff folks.

George that hilarious!!! Lmfao

@ George you may be compared to Fabio,
The most beautiful man in the cosmos.
, Adonis ,really it was your mum right

hows it all going is the gearbox all sorted or is it a day of today??

They just messaged me to say they are popping past so it is now up and running, I could not be there today while it was being finished off so dont know anymore??

Healy is taking the car home tonight so he can rack up some km's before the Tallarook trip...!!!!

good to hear thanks BA for the update hopefully it drives better with just the new clutch and gearbox

Healy left here about 30min ago and I must report that he is floating on air!!!!!

He does not know how to put into words how he feels and how he could express his overwhelming gratitude to all those that have helped out so far¬!!!

He is driving the car this week to rack up the K's and has been given a couple of jobs to do during the week.

George is so generous with his time and has been brilliant!!!!!

Look forward to next week!!!

Healy has only driven this car a total of 700 Kim's since owning this car! New clutch, new gear box, new tyres! He won't know himself!!

Wow is that the way it's ment feel lol can't wait to feel with a working LSD your all fantastic people its great to grab 4th and not feel like the box wants to fall out nice smooth ride now and the tyres are beautiful on the road can't wait to test it on some muddy tracks thanks heaps guys. Thanks heaps George for giving up your long weekend your to generous mate

Well after a couple of hours ( including hold time) of calling every spare parts retailer in a 10km radius and educating 3/4 of them on what a Recoil / helicoil is ( one even told me he didn't have an ignition coil set for a ZD30 listed, no jokes people) we got a bolt sizing issue sorted.

After a quick test drive i was happy with it then handed the keys over to Healy and we dropped past Jonathan's slapped on the bar and off i went.

BTW John (TD) Adonis is the Greek gods gift to women but in fact i have a head on me like a half eaten pastie lol

Yesterday i rudely asked Megomonster to stay on topic and i like to thank him again for editing his post which has been removed now but i would also like to ask everyone else to stay close to the topic as possible. I like to thank everyone again for all their generosity. Till next week Cheers!!

A pic of George and my patrols at the front of the shop after it was ready to head home great effort George

Mate, not quite true, I know I'd struggle. It's not just that you're doing it, but a whole bunch of you guys are giving up the prized Easter weekend and then more time again next week. I'm sure a couple of months back everyone had other plans, but have pulled this together anyway.

Just want to jump in and say again what everyone has already said and already know, but this whole thing is just SENSATIONAL which ever way you look at it. So pleased for Healy and his family - nice to get a break when things have been going tough.
