Man.. Wish I told it someone else, you're doing a fucken terrible job..

I'm keen to meet up, but my weekends are a bit jammed on and off for the next month or two. Plus I have a whole lot of seals to replace on the zed.

Should have taken it for a wof like that...

Took her for a burn today finally.. Could also go lower I think but looks way better than it did. Had a list of stuff to finish, mainly tightening things and bending up lock washers etc. Did a tape measure toe in job and a leveling tool castor job, seems to track ok but it's been so long I can't remember how it drives, covid was the last time I drove it. $1600 drive shaft seems to have done the trick with no vibrations at 80km anymore (thank fuck) But tbh still feels like I'm diving an old clunker even with all new suspension bits. Also saftey wire on the strut bolts was a total ball ache, next time I'll think about that while things are being put together rather than after the fact.. Now that I've finally tested it out and all seems fine next on the list is a trip over the hill for a new exhaust care of @yoeddynz... And then wof time. Edit*.. Oh, and should prob bleed the brakes again as they feel a bit spongy.

Holy fuck.. 7 years, still feels like yesterday.. There was a reason I looked to you when selling it.. Good things take time.

Yeah, as above is pretty simple to pull the engine.. But I've done big ends in the car, not too painful.

Yeah bro, it's not hard once you figure it out.. Failing that I have a couple of options if you like, my partners cousin is a pro painter who could potentially paint it for you for a good price (works for Rosie's in chch), or I have another mate who's a back yarder in Shirley who could possibly also paint it for a good price.. Depends on what you'd want to spend.

Sheesh.. Well over a year later. Anyway, about a month ago I finally got around to painting all the bits I had blasted in may last year, had them all in bags with damp proof in them so no rust, just had the cross member cleaned up in the last school hols and the last of the bolts etc plated, kind of wish I had the car cleaned underneath before I started, that's a past me vs future me discussion for later.. Some pics.. Was surpass how long it took to paint everything, but I guess it was two coats wet on wet epoxy and 2k chassis black.. . Struts assembled, also took a while to figure out where all the bits and bolts went 15 months after pulling the all apart. Looks a bit blingy and I may still paint some things black (but prob won't), I have it on the ground at last, just need to do an alignment and bleed the brakes etc, speaking of which, had the calipers sleeved at CBC for about 200 each, New handbrake cable for about 120, and the most expensive bit was the ball joints, tie rods not to bad but the control arms were about 400 each.. Should outlast me tbh, I doubt this will do another 100k in its lifetime. Sits nice and low now, just got to get over the hill so @yoeddynz can build me an exhaust then it's wof time, first since 2016 I think..

Hey bro, been a while.. What's happening with your zed?

Hi all, I'm in need of an engineer that can machine some stub axles on a torsion axle setup (trailer) , whether or not the they can machine it in situ with a rotating tool or they need to split it idk, but does anyone have any recommendations in chc? Pic for ref

Do you know where your water table sits? Reason I ask is when I planted stuff around my house in South Brighton, except for the top 100mm of sandy soil, it was straight sand but the water table was about 800mm down and kept the moisture levels up, as a result shit grew like crazy...

Yeah I got to much on this last half of August, supposedly I was to become time rich shifting up here but alas that only listed 6 months.. I was defo looking forwards to this.

It's the staying home bit.. A bit gutted tho as I was quite looking forward to a roadie and some drunken banter/pool time..

Well chaps, due to some upcoming issues, it looks like I'm going to be unable to attend this year's meat which I'm am not happy about..

Fuck bro that engine looks amazing..
