tortron

WOF today Reasons vehicle failed inspection SR - Remedy corrosion left B pillar (personally i would have let this pass, it just looks bad because i picked at it. will do today) - hit with flap disk, reveled to my horror, perfectly fine metal, painted OT - Remedy fuel leaks - drips from manifold drain, probably wants the float reset and then a bunch of steering issues SS- Steering box bolt loose - would seem that someone switched the bolts around (ends of the bolts were marked for the split pin) and then simply realigned the marks, not checking they were tight - tightened and new splitpins used SS- Driveshaft universals worn (will pack full of grease and see how it goes) SS- Movement in draglink ends to comply to manufactures specs SS- Movement in front wheels to comply to manufacture specs These seem fine after tightening the steeringbox, replacing a missing washer, and loading up with fresh grease notes: perishing in all tyres and trans mounting axle seals leaking - not affecting brakes (both of which im aware of) So not too bad, can probably knock all of that out today depending on how those universals look (seemed ok last time i greased them, but may have since shat themselves, if so i will probably have to wait till after new years to get replacements)

the brake lever comes with the kit. it has a locking mechanism on it as well

RE: studheight/hoists roller roof would be lush on a sunny day, however dont get caught out with a car up in the rain Looks roughly the size of my old mans shed, he has office + dangerous goods room set up as well. Can really swallow up alot of stuff

have one as standard equipment (along with fuel and oil pressure) dammed fuel gauge is dead now, think iv narrowed it down to a broken wire

its pretty much luxury Also affixed sidelight and properly hooked up the temp gauge, plus a light, and modified backing bracket to fit. Cant figure out where i put the bracket marked - found bolted to head, unsure of purpose im pretty sure its for the bistarter throttle control, which would be real nice to have working in the summer so i dont have a million revs when in traffic

might i suggest mounting those handlebars down on the forks makes for super sweet 50cc gp racer stance

so- being aircooled it wont cool with no air running past it anyway

Bolted this on today Thats right, its a truck, i bolt everything to it seat is pretty tired - it even has bora ducttape and this make it a little nicer. left loose on bottom squabs, as i need to take these out often to get to the gas tank and storage

if it was my truck, its still driving back. not mine someone threw gang signs at me from a wagon the other day too edit* giggled at the thought of an old guy pootling along in his truck - getting harrased by an anglebox gang

Toolchest is sweet, very happy with it right now. also went around and re attached the tarp tie downs that were once fitted. Eyeballed my hungry boards, but im not sure i want them on

god this is horrible needs some rank as tetanus inducing rack on the rear tray

Picked up this tool chest from a retired builder many months ago. Spare tyre kept working loose, so that prompted me to take it off and fit this (truck actually drives much nicer without the tyre creaking around there) Half an hour or so with a ruler, drill, and some imperial hardware and shes bolted down and ready. Lockable, tho not too sure on how waterproof it is, im sure i can improve if it should leak. Makes a great seat, and you could fit a few people inside if you were that way inclined

Looking sharp man

because i dont have my truck locked away and mothballed, must mean its for sale is getting to be a drag

Coil lead fell off today i held up peak hour traffic i lold, then gradually escaped in a puff of unburnt fuel

bumping

that sounds like oxygen in the water escaping when hot. get a pressure test done and rest easy or just carry a water bottle with you. i lose a litre of water if i sit in traffic on the way home unpressurized system and a 10 L header tank success

perhaps a sight glass ala motorcycle crankcases would be a good option too

il save you a stroke and take it off your hands for you

or just leave your car out in the sun in the middle of summer will do the trick

you rat im going to have to buy that green bedford and outclass you

cock everything up is my main task im in the microlab

those are some handsome animals

So im after some place to live for a while (possibly up to a few months) Lease is up here end of Jan, but i want (haha want) to stay in hamilton a little longer. perhaps you have a room/shed/space for a caravan to go I will have minimal belongings, somewhere to park the truck, morrie and hide my toolchest + a few extra bits for my truck would be ideal Close to TeRapa for work would be sweet too, cycling distance would be ideal Ideas?

some are self centering, even if they arnt, it will only take 5 mins to move it till its fine
