What did you do to your Patrol today!

[Maxhead]

Put my front diff back in, bolted the hubs back in. Crawled under to zip tie the air locker line up, realized I needed another. I slide myself out from under the car and whack! I'm seeing stars. I then remeber that I do have blood that runs through me, and now outside of me too...LOL
Turns out that a tie rod end is tougher than my scone.

Yeowww! That looks terrible, Mudski.



I undid the Old Trol's front few body mounts and slid in a few rubber washers, which I had cut out of old inner tube. Used a bit of super glue and then tightened the mounts up. The noises when braking and turning have stopped. It will do until I can afford some new mounts.

Unfortunately, the radiator has been flexing with the movement of the old mounts. Last week I saw that the solder had broken between the top strut and tank, so the core is weeping, the same place as it had done two years ago.
Today, I made a large soldering iron out of a bit of copper pipe, a thin metal rod and a bit of pine for a handle, (no one sells the soldering irons down this way). I used my gas weed burner to heat it. It took a few goes, but the tank is secure, but the core is still slightly weeping. I will put a little bit of chemiweld in to stop it. (I know, I know. It is not great for the engine, but it has worked for over 2 years) It will have to do, until I can afford a new radiator.

I'm not one to laugh at others pain but... Oh who am I kidding that's farkin hilarious!

I wasn't larfin' when I did it though. I have never cut my head before and didn't realise how much a head can bleed. Whats even funnier that I whacked my head on the way under too.

Got me a water bag. Look like I'm from yobbo-ville now hahahahahaha. I have soaked the bag for like 6 days and dried it out 3 times and still leaks. Not much but is that normal or will it eventually stop leaking all together?
