  1. It seems really hard to find what I want but maybe I'm not searching for the right buzzwords I dunno. I'm after a non bitumous, stone chip/underseal which you can paint over. I want to do the bottom of the sills on the missus triumph which im currently repairing. I have some 2pack paint which is not 100% colour match so if I can use the stonechip the texture change should be a bit more forgiving to the eye. I'm going to run a line down the side and up the dogleg slightly. Pics of the product I'm looking for. I don't have a Schutz gun but could get one.

  2. I think once there's a battery, secure that, fresh fuel, check the lights, quick blast up the road to clean off the brakes/ listen and feel for anything weird and send it for a wof. Then if it fails, we'll get into that list, but tbh I can't see it failing on much.

  3. I spose I should commit at this point lol.  I'll be there at 12(ish)

    Do younwant me to bring my bbq incase? 

    I'm taking the ute anyway with jacks, axle stands(1 set) drive on ramps, a few sets of spanners, socket sets and if I can lift it, my toolbox with various swap meet quality hand tools. Tbh, i reckon we'll smash it out. It doesn't need much. But would be nice to re pack bearings, check brakes, And get the engine running nice on some fresh fuel for a wof.

    Do you know a rough start time? Not needing exact times, just easier for me personally to ditch other commitments now rather than on the day and get frowny face.

    Will dig out some tools to bring. But if there is something you know you need that you don't have maybe chuck it up so people can bring. 

    Around midday start at a guess, without speaking for him. I will ask and confirm.  

    Great idea on the tools. I'll have a think about what jobs can actually happen and the tools needed etc and make a list.

    What is the tools situation. 

    I am also a solid maybe. I'll see closer to the time 

     

    Just my hand tools at the moment, I'll probably put the toolbox in the ute, it's basic cheap brand stuff but it's got me this far. A few sets of spanners and sockets. I don't have a battery impact etc. I have a couple of jacks, axle stands, ramps. I'm tempted to pack the welder incase there's any rust under the screen but not sure how ambitious that would be. Still  I have a mig and plenty of scrap sheet steel if needed. Hopefully not though. 

    Davey said he'll sort the beers and sausages too.

    Working on a car with a bunch of guys/few beers is incredibly cathartic. 

    Absolutely. 

    Also It might be one of your old BBQs in the back of my ute on the day ,so there's that to consider. 

     

    Cheers for the replies and interest so far btw.

    I was about to say you have no sense of danger or adventure....but your current escapades suggest otherwise...

    Do you get extra points if you sell it at the end of the trip to some clueless 36 year old?

    I'm keen

    I once had a gearbox stuck on a dowel/spline.

    gave it a big clutch kick and she popped off

    It was stuck on the dowels.  Honestly I've never experienced anything similar to that. I was hammering on an old bread knife to get the box out far enough to get the cold chisel in and then a prybar. Fought me the whole way off too.  That was absolutely nuts  20221025_184010_copy_2250x3000.thumb.jpg.69f1fac80a5b990dd7437b3b2a4abd87.jpg

     

    Never again .
