let the work begin

So Toby the terrano is now off the road as the license has ran out and the head gasket has gone...I think, I spoken to my mate Jack, and he's going to weld my truck and also give me a hand rubing down the chassis and we are going to attack it with hammerite. Also, drop the tank and sort the rot behind it. Ohh and make a crosmember for the front. Then move onto fixing the engine. I've already spoken to my friend Zenka 'the polish one who also brings terrano parts from Poland......cheap' as her dad has a machine shop, so I'll see if I could exchange a bottle of vodka for a nicely skimmed head.

Anyhow, that Is the plan. Shouldnt take a lifetime to do as I've got 2 friends who can help, jack, who can do the welding, and Zenka, who is wanting to learn about mechanics so she can be mine and Jack's apprentice should be fun.

I live a weird life
