Today was a bad day

[makeitfit]

Me too , and it's going to keep my feet dryer now too
All the inside is proper stripped out too, saves about 20 kg just in carpet
Even more on mine as it was wet with water and er gear box oil:augie

 

[extreme-4x4]

found someone to do a cage yet ?

 

[makeitfit]

Yep , but due to all these ruddy holes it aint going in now till next week:sly
Plus I've got to lift it first for the chassis mounts for the cage to work.

you want to look into some nice lifting points while your friendly with mr welder

Hi Makeitfit

Re the patio - I've just finished laying 87 square metres of exposed aggregate concrete bays divided by terra cotta tiles, in our rear courtyard. Cost me just over 500 Euros here in France, you could probably do it a little cheaper in the U.K.

Bon courage, CL

If only, I'm doing Indian Sandstone
£12.99/sq.m, plus all the rest of the stuff that goes in the ground:doh
So about £1500 all in, plus loads of tea and beer for the boys:thumbs

eleven ski resorts <1 hrs drive, just a shame I don't like skiing....!

actually its a bit bigger job than just that - need to remove a couple of metres of adobe wall back and sides to lower the thing, then replace timbers and reroof in metal, since the old roman tiles are a PITA....not really a winter job is it

I've got a coatand some skisand a bloody good mind to do it in Nov. and then pop up the slopes for first snow:slymmmm

 

[makeitfit]

Forgot to say earlier, I've now got some black Nissan panels too
So it's a straight wing going on tomorrow too:thumb2 then the door later:augie
Better not roll the thing again now:lol

 

[extreme-4x4]

no not now your strapping a bomb to it too

 

[makeitfit]

Ay but it's all rufty tufty now:thumb2
Gary has done an amazing rebuild on my mav.
The seat belt location points were a bit dodgey to say the least , so we did them today................talk about turin shroud!:augie

Had to get some more parts off the donor Nissan up the scrap yard again
But now it's all better again

I expect to keep things dry in it now
Just got to put the wing on in the morning and start the thing
Then off to Team Wales bash:thumbs :naughty

 

[extreme-4x4]

but, if you had to cut that much out ... you could have re tubed the arches completely and had more travel for bigger wheels

you could have done away with the body lift then

 

[makeitfit]

Ay it would have been nice to re make the tubbs but time was against us!
We cut bits off a T2 up the scrappy and scarfed them on. That took long enough So to have done a new from scratch would have been over the top for me

HOWEVER, at 2pm sat it was all back together again,ish............:augie
Having taken all the electrics out and steering and fuel lines etc I was hoping I could remember how to put it all back again
Anyway apart from the horn being stuck on all seemed to work,electrically:thumbs
Then the engine wouldnt rev. Eventually worked out the fuel lines had got crossed over:augie:nenau
When I sorted that it started and off we went for a quick blast up Strata Florida
Result, and thanks to Gary, NO WET FEET :thumbs
