Jason we got an ABN a couple of months ago as we do lots of spray painting vehicles, mainly friends from Harry's work:) They need to write it off in their books for their businesses. We seem to have a steady parts flow as we are contacted nearly every week by random people who want to sell:)

Getting parts this weekend and next week, so what exactly do you need and will look

Mrs hh:angel:

[banjo]

Hey Tony this one..Yeah its in a shed by the looks of it..

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/01/366.jpg

[banjo]

Hey Tony you should keep this.Put that engine from me into it , engineer it put some rego on it & sell it for $3,500

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/01/365.jpg

[Landy Smurf]

tempting but i dont really have the time or effort to do it. If you want to come up for a weekend then sure I would do it.
The engine came out of my s3 it did run but needed a tune up. I was going to ask $150 for it but you can have it for free because I like you

[Landy Smurf]

finally got them uploaded. a few of the parts I am not sure what they are

[banjo]

3rd & 4th pic are winnches.3rd is a PTO for a winch Thomas thats what i have on the front of green one..The last is a rear PTO use to run a huge belt for machinery.I think that pump mite be a hydrolic pump maybe.That thomas PTO also has the rear drive on it..The large shaft in the 1st pic is for the rear PTO drive..


Tony if i had the money i'd but it all off you as i love that sort of stuff around cause it gives me things to do..I have'nt had a landy engine for so long.Would like to rebuild another one.

I'd be real keen on the blue one to do what i said i just dont have the money or a way to get it home..IF I HAD THE ROOM & MONEY I'D BUY EVERYTHING OFF USE CAUSE ID FIX THE SWB UP CAUSE IVE NEVER OWNED ONE..

[banjo]

Tony those rear drives are rare they go on the rear Xmember where the hole is. on the outside of the chassis usualy have a belf running off it to a huge saw or bailer..Throw it on ebay some as for the overdrive.Start ya overdrive for about $300.& you can post it just need to box it up well..

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/01/357.jpg

[banjo]

Tony whats the rust like on the blue one.You took the overdrive off & your keeping the wheels & tyres off it to are'nt you ?..How much for it as is with the rims & tyres..I am interested but need to see how much to get it home.
You also have 3 sets of extractors off the 2.25 i seen in ya for sales you should ebay em to.they can be posted threw the post to.. You'll be serprised what you can post..throw the grills on ebay with postage. Also remember if you do scap body parts you get a bit more for them as they not like cans.Its all bermabright not just alloy so you get more.I cant remember what they buy it as now it mite come under shrewded alloyminium..& as for steal they must be paying ok for it cause look at all the scabs coming round for the rubbish collection..& i usualy ring an old guy he comes gets all my old metal.

Actualy you blue car would be perfect for Jim aswell.easy fix & could probably just use club rego.Plus he could use it to get his fire wood.

By the look of that big shaft in your pic i'd say it was with this & on a SWB.do you have the PTO off the gearbox for it or was it ran off the thomas one..
Actualy my PTO i think is off a toyota but made to fit the landy.The guy i brought the car off was so body it was'nt funny..Have you got the front shaft for the thomas PTO they are a steal shaft with a uni in middle & one at each end.
Tony your sitting on a gold mine of stuff.

[banjo]

I think the biggest problem for you Tony is that your so far out for pickup..

[banjo]

Karen has already said that she does'nt care if i fill the yard up with landys or bits cause i'd still be anal & have a clean & tidy yard no matter how much stuff i put in there..I just dont trust the owner he could evict us at anytime BUT he has said to us & the realestate he does'nt want us to leave as we look after the place & pay our rent on time every week..& i am looking into getting one of those herpy norman Garages there just a garden shed only 6 meters long by 3 meters wide & have the doors at the front.There not great BUT it would give me somewhere to work in all weathers..Plus another garden shed next to the one i put up already 3X3 meters would be just nice aswell..

[Landy Smurf]

the pto stuff i am keeping it all. bahahahaha it is hard to find that stuff.
i was probably hoping to get around $800 for the blue ute. the rust in it isnt too bad the door tops are rusty and a tiny bit in the chassis I dont really know i there is bog or not in the firewall it is all carpeted up. I could sell it to you for a bit less but still poses the problem as how to get it there as I dont really having a way of getting it there either unless I bought a land rover for parts nearby. let me know if your interested

Could be a tempting thought Jason. Let me catch up here, the blue ute has no motor and is undriveable I take it, so whoever buys it will have to arrange transport. How much work needs to be done on it to make it registerable, Tony??:confused:

[/B] Could be a tempting thought Jason. Let me catch up here, the blue ute has no motor and is undriveable I take it, so whoever buys it will have to arrange transport. How much work needs to be done on it to make it registerable, Tony??:confused:

Jim it has an engine but its stuffed I have a FULLY rebuilt red 202 to replace the crap 202..Thats all it needs & an engineers certificate & rego..Very easy fix & i cant see the engineers cert being to dear as its only the engine that needs it..So would need to get it towed here bout $200. then Engineer About $200 i think..So far thats only $1200.Then just ya blue slip $40 then ya green slip & put it in Mrs Aus's name for pension rego & you have a great work horse..I was really interested BUT KAREN said NO cause i have 2 rego's due soon.:(:(:(

So i recon it could all be done for under $2000. I am giving Tony the rebuilt engine outa Harry for it but if you buy it i will fit it all for you..Just need to get it here & thats only a matter of ringing a few or all the towtruck company's & getin the best tow price..It would be perfect for you Jim for your fire wood colecting..& the Guy round here for the BLUE slip is good we take all ours there..

[Ausfree]

Very tempting Jason, but she has spoken...No!!:(

A Cyclone has hit Bundaberg where we just spent a week with one of our daughters.:o We saw scenes on the news where parts of Bargara Beach have been hit really bad. My daughter lives at Moore Park Beach which is North of Bargara Beach and after ringing her she tells me they are flooded in, it is absolutely pouring rain and the winds are about 100k's an hour. Everything is OK and they are watching DVD's (that's all they can do at the moment) but they can't get out of Moore Park Beach.:o Phew, at least they are OK.:D

Tell him he's dreamin'!!:o

Sorry it would have to have BOOBIES for that price..

Even with the crap he is going on with about parts & acid clean & including all the parts IT WOULD'NT COST that much..I used to build 355ci stroker engines outa Holden 308s for less then half that..

The weather conditions around Australia this year are extreme .Massive heat waves Bad rains Bush fires Floods.All at once ..

[Ausfree]

Yep, one of our lady bus drivers has just come back from Coonabarraban. Her parents have lost their home to the bush fires up there. She tells me that the scenes of desolation are unbelievable and all the dead animals is particularly heartrending.:(

I saw in a recent newspaper they had a map of the Coonabarraban fires stretched over a map of Sydney, to show how massive the area was that was burnt out, now I don't know Coonabarraban, but I do know Sydney and the area is absolutely huge!!:(

I can tell you nothing like that now:(

It is raining really hard here now, supposed to get worse:( Ah well as least we didn't go camping this weekend.

Did our own Australia Day thing, sausage on the BBQ thing, inside on the hot plate with Brian's snags, onion , BBQ sauce, bacon and cheese....YUM

Mrs hh:angel:

[Landy Smurf]

I saw that engine on there and yeah I think i would spend a few more grand and get the whole car with it

[Landy Smurf]

we got a storm the other night and it made the creek run again and probably rose 40cm so another storm with a few inches would put a nice flood through the creek.
no rain today and warmish weather so bring on the wet weather tomorrow

[Landy Smurf]

sorry jason but due to the weather and long weekend monday and tuesday is not going to work

[banjo]

sorry jason but due to the weather and long weekend monday and tuesday is not going to work

Thats ok Tony don't stress when use get here use get here..i'm over this rain already..I know we need it but i'm over sittin around..

[Landy Smurf]

i feel bad though because i keep saying this day but then i cant do it.
I am just having a bit of a clean up and sorted some parts out that people bought.
fingers crossed dad and I might be going for a land rover parts scavanger hunt next week so I may be able to get that glass you are after and maybe a few other bits

Na don't feel bad about it..these things happen..I'm not worried about it at all..Have use got an old gearbox laying around. I need 1 of the 3 studs inside the T/case that holds it togeter with the gearbox.But i cant remember which one i broke & was going to take them outa that rebuilt box for use.But if use don't have an old one laying about i'll leave em there.I can get em just be to lazy to get em..There's 2 standard type studs & one which has a small end that goes into the gearbox but i just can't for the life of me remember which one i broke in the green car.Spode i could just leave it , it has'nt cause any trouble with it gone..

[Landy Smurf]

i have s3 gearbox in bits maybe i just bring them all.

[Ausfree]

Well, there you go, Jase, it's either too hot to work on the Landy or too wet. Sooooo, I guess you will finish your project somewhere around................2020!!:p

[Landy Smurf]

so how has everyones day been?

[banjo]

Well, there you go, Jase, it's either too hot to work on the Landy or too wet. Sooooo, I guess you will finish your project somewhere around................2020!!:p



YES it seem like that i tell ya..





Hey Jim hows your daughter gettin on at Bundy.

[banjo]

so how has everyones day been?


Bloody wet Has'nt stoped raint for 3 days solid now..& the winds are just starting to get bad now...





I hate sittin around :(:(

[banjo]

I recon there could be a few cheapy houses for sale in QLD next week..If the rain stops..

[Landy Smurf]

The rain and the wind has stayed the same here all day

[Ausfree]

YES it seem like that i tell ya..





Hey Jim hows your daughter gettin on at Bundy.
Heard from my son-in-law today, Jase,they are fine, have plenty of food, the power is back after no power yesterday, but they are cut off, so all they can do is sit an wait. They live at Moore Park Beach, if you want to check that on "Whereis"!!:D It is (as you know) on the beach front, about 20 minutes out of Bundaberg!!:D

[Ausfree]

I recon there could be a few cheapy houses for sale in QLD next week..If the rain stops.. When we visited my daughter, we noticed there were plenty of houses for sale at Moore Park Beach, some nice ones too. I bet there will be plenty more now.!!:D

Here is one example that we saw, just down the road from my daughter's place!!:D

Glad to hear there safe & well Jim..



I hope the Ho Hars are ok with this weather as its hittin Brizvagas now..

[Ausfree]

The last I heard is they are OK, but have no power and are using a generator, to keep them going. I will suggest to my daughter that she buys one also, would be a good investment I think!!!!

[Landy Smurf]

we have had abit over 2 inches today so far averaging 3-4mm an hour so very light rain but i guess tonight will tell. if we were to get 1 inch of heavy rain it would flood nicely as we have already had 100mm this week.

[Landy Smurf]

I have missed the news but was just checking with papa if it was flooding yet and he said that newcastle is copping it now.
so how bad is the wind and rain?

[Ausfree]

That house I just showed you is about 100 metres from this beach.....

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/01/148.jpg

My daughters place is about 200 metres.:D They have bought an acre of land a bit further out, about 500 metres from the beach, where they intend to build!!:D

[Landy Smurf]

It will be interesting to see the before and after photos.
Jim I'd say you went at the right time to see your daughter

[Ausfree]

Jim I'd say you went at the right time to see your daughter

Well Tony the photo above is obviously the "before" photo, I would say the beach would be pretty washed out now. Mrs. Aus and myself are saying how lucky we are not to be there now, missed it by a week and a half or as Maxwell Smart would say....."missed it by thaaat much":D

[banjo]

Well i think the heavy rains have gone.Had light misty rain this morning that was it.Got lots of washing to get done though..Opened the shed smorning & looks like a lot of water went through it , No major damage ..My big trolley jack is wet again so more rust on the wheels :(..Every thing else is dry enough though..Looking into getting one of those Large sheds from Harvey Normans there 6 meters by 3 meters with the 2 doors at the front..Have to get permision off owner & agent but i think if we get to much trouble with this we are going to start looking for another house to rent..We should'nt need council permision for it as there was a large single garage here at some stage thats rotted away.So hopefully the owner & agent sees that to..One can hope..

[The ho har's]

Glad to hear there safe & well Jim..



I hope the Ho Hars are ok with this weather as its hittin Brizvagas now..

We are fine Jason, still no power and cut off on an Island from the Logan River:) The genny is giving me a headache though:(

Mrs hh:angel:

[Landy Smurf]

lol i could have jut done the same.
I bet alot of the kids will be thinking yay extended holiday

[sheerluck]

We are fine Jason, still no power and cut off on an Island from the Logan River:) The genny is giving me a headache though.......

Still no power yet Mrs HH? We've had power again since early afternoon.

[Landy Smurf]

well the creek flooded very minor last night/early this morning but I made it across in the car around 2pm mind you it didnt need much more water to stop me.
It was dropping around an inch an hour which is very slow but reflects the way it which we got the rain

[The ho har's]

Still no power yet Mrs HH? We've had power again since early afternoon.

No still no power, we have moved the genny now it's not raining, so much quiter:) You out mundoolun way?

Mrs hh:angel:

[Ausfree]

Spoke to my Daughter this morning, the Kolan River has broken it's banks and with the Burnett river flooding Moore Park Beach is now under threat. Moore Park Beach is smack bang between the two rivers.Daughter is confident (reasonably) they should be OK, as they are on a small rise.

Problem is, up there, the whole area is so flat, therefore when a river floods the floodwater can go for miles!!:(

[sheerluck]

No still no power, we have moved the genny now it's not raining, so much quiter:) You out mundoolun way?

Mrs hh:angel:

No, we're in Cedar Vale. Just about back to normality, just can't get anywhere!

[The ho har's]

that's not good Jim, hope your daughter stays high and dry

Mrs hh:angel:

[The ho har's]

No, we're in Cedar Vale. Just about back to normality, just can't get anywhere!

If you need to get out you can via Edelstien? and Stocklea roads, if you can get that far, I have to swim to Stocklea Rd:p

Mrs hh:angel:

[Ausfree]

Daughter EMailed me these photo's she took this morning.

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/01/79.jpg

This is the main road into Moore Park Beach. The service station is just around the corner to the left and the IAG store and the pub a bit past the servo on the right.

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/01/80.jpg

Looking out from the service station onto the road. Just a bit wet methinks.

[Landy Smurf]

[Landy Smurf]

I am just going to bring the grills down and let you pick. I may have sold the s2/2a ones but i am going to buy another one for you when i find one

[Ausfree]

My daughter EMailed me a few photo's of the beach front this morning, here are two that might be of interest. The first one shows how muddy the water is after all the floodwaters are washing into the ocean.

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/01/35.jpg

This next one shows what looks to be a shed or part of a house washed up on the beach.

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/01/36.jpg

Beach is definitely in a mess at the moment.

[banjo]

well it will be morning probably around 10-1130 fingers crossed, depends how slow the ol' woman will be

SWEET perfect. I'll get all the parts out ready..
Found a series 3 rim with really good tyre on it for use to..

[banjo]

I am just going to bring the grills down and let you pick. I may have sold the s2/2a ones but i am going to buy another one for you when i find one

Na dont worry about looking for another one its all good..Hey i took the engine mounts off the engine as i broke one on the green one..not the rubber bits the metal bits that ya bolt to te block but you can just use yours..Also have heaps of Gaskets for the 6 cyl here to so i'll dig them out..I also have an electronit dizzy here for it use can have..I also took those 3 studs outa the box..You'll also need to take you flywheel off & clutch to use aswell.. the adapter is there on it but its broken Can use as its just where some studs where they where broken out when i got it & had bolts going right through..UM cant think of anything else..

[banjo]

Lucky i cleaned up today..

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/01/34.jpg

Hope the ol' woman can back the trailer good :D:p

[banjo]

Theres also a spare inlet & exhaust manifold there plus the gasket for it.Also theres a couple of rear main seals NEW & front seals..Oh yeah you'll need your thurmastat housing i did'nt have one , cant find the one that came on it..theres the mesh exhaust gaskets theres a heap there i dont need.I'll have everything out ready anyway for use.Plus if i find anything else i'll throw them in aswell..DO YOU NEED TO BORROW A HOLDEN 6 BOOK for all the setting.Timing & all that & ya spark plug leads.OH yeah ya need your fuel pump i broke the original.the book has all the torque settings to for the fly wheel bolts..

[banjo]

If you have a look at the Harry thread you'll see whats all new in the engine..all new seals Gaskets.Ring Barrings ROD bolts.all major stuff is new ..It has'nt even been run yet..Same as the gearbox.:D

[Landy Smurf]

thanks heaps jason. I think I will borrow that book. do you want me to get those bolts/studs tonight or can they wait for a few weeks?
So i think what i might do is take that engine out and pull the bits off i need for the new engine put it together and try and run it for a bit before putting it back in. what do you think?

Um the bolts i kinda took em out of the box i have here already..:D
Just use the ones use have for it when use need to fit the box..

You will have to put the engine back in to run it..I squirt oil in the plug hole regulary to keep it from seizing up.So may blow smoke on first run.. to run it in just drive it normal for a bit a day then give it a bit then after a week give it to it.Should only take use a day & a half ish to pull old one out get the bit & put em on the new engine & get it all back in..The book i have is for a BLUE holden 202 but the settings are the same..i'll get it out tonight for you..I have other holden books but they are older ones.

Tony do you need to borrow a tension wrench or anything else tool wize ????

[Landy Smurf]

I already have a tension wrench i dont think there is anything else i will need. it is alll just nuts and bolts from there on out isnt? how hard will it be to get the bolts/nuts undone where the clutch connects to the gearbox?

[banjo]

Clutch bolts are'nt hard there half inch or 13mm.

The flywheel bolts are tight ther 5 eiths or 15mm.Breaker bar will get em.But it will still be fun.Jam a bit of timber threw the starter hole.
Other then that its pretty striaght forward.Before you start undoing everything but some timber blocks under the gearbox bellhousing , i usualy make them a tight fit that way the box front does'nt drop down to the Xmember.The hardest bit will be when you put the new engine back in lining it all up, the clutch & gearbox main shaft.IF you have an old box in bits use the main shaft out of it to line it all up when you bolt the clutch back on.If not use a bit off a broom handle about 5 inches long..
I also rebuilt the alternator on the engine but have'nt tested it at all..

[Landy Smurf]

hey jason the ol woman is a bot slow this morning he decided he would have a bloody 3 course breakfast so we wont leave for at least another 30 mins because he still needs have his shower and general slow crap "dont rush me dont rush me"

[Brian]

After my long trip away, today I received my mail being held by a neighbour, and there was an unexpected card from Karen and Jason.
Thanks again guys.

[banjo]

Well i had Tony & his father call in today.Filled the trailer & the back of the ute with parts for them..Tony's Father is a nice bloke (Steve) i think was his name..Yakked for awhile & loaded all the bits up & Tony gave me some grills.& a set of extractors for a landy 4cyl..I like young Tony he's a nice young fella & easy to talk to even for a RANGA..:D:D

Did use beat the rain home.We had a huge down poor & Cardiff flooded in about an hour..

[Ausfree]

Glad everything went well, except maybe for the rain!!:D:D

[Landy Smurf]

we got home and barely unloaded and down it came we got 27mm in 30mins and then 8mm later and 19mm over night so in total 54mm and 2 days of flooding. I dont know if you heard but a few cars got stranded and I know of at least one car that got swept off the causeway. they had to send 2 ses and 2 ambos out.
the creek came up and then all of sudden a big wave came and and was rising 15-20cm per minute over a 10 minute period. I will get some photos and videos up later

[Landy Smurf]

thanks jason I like you to even for a towny oh ah thats right its on. no one calls me ranga and gets away with it except for that one guy who said it and then ran away too fast , he got away with it, but besides him no one calls me ranga and gets away with it

I'm a little worried about that engine cause its sat here for so long..Just remember squirt a little oil in the sparkplug holes..The only problem i occured with the rebuild of it was one of the head bolts , One of the center ones striped the thread in the block, BUT i fixed it properly with a recoil & tools the engine machine shop lent me.& it did tension up properly..Its the first time i've ever used one for that..But it will be all fine i'm sure..Put it this way it will have some kick once use get it all going :D.

[banjo]

Oh yeah nip all the sump bolts up properly to..

[drifter]

Hey Jason

You know those little plastic thingys that are the moving bit in the bonnet hinge... ?

Mine keep breaking - splitting right in half!

Have you had that problem? I have started a thread in the series 3 area but thought I may as well come and ask 'the oracle'.

[Landy Smurf]

we did notice the engine was quite hard to turn over by hand. But i guess we will know soon.
In reply to drifter we have never split them but occasionally had them fall out. Are you sure you are putting them on right as I thought from memory you can put them on back to front but it puts alot of pressure on them

[drifter]

Same here. When they do work it's a buggers muddle as to who they come from - sometimes they are sent by dave@davecandoit.com.au and sometimes they are sent by aulroadmin@aulro.com

Strange...

Thanks Tony - I'll double check but I was sure they were in the right way - I could be wrong, though.

Na i've never had trouble with them spliting..I did have one slide out all together .I put them in first then sit the bonnet on them , Just undo the bonnet holder first ..

[drifter]

Na i've never had trouble with them spliting..I did have one slide out all together .I put them in first then sit the bonnet on them , Just undo the bonnet holder first ..


Yup - that's what I do - undo the bonnet holder. Lift the bonnet vertical. Go to the business end - lift one side - slide out the old broken bits, slide in a new one, lower the bonnet into the hinge. Do the same for the other side. Lower bonnet.

Lift bonnet. Close firmly. Pick up broken bit off hinge. Start again :)

Well Fred started her work placement today (like work expieriance) at the pet shop.Its for her tafe course she is doing animal studies certificate 2.has to do 8 hours a week & is doing 4 on fridays & 4 on saturdays..At argenton.She suffers a lot of my problems & was very nervous this morning but was fine..

[drifter]

Looks like emails are going again - the first one I got was from some knob on a Stage 1 V8 thread :wasntme:

Congrats to Fred - well done.

[Landy Smurf]

I was going to say I would pop in see fred at her work placement when I am down there next but it Wont be a friday or saturday most likely.
I like having a look around pet shops.

[Landy Smurf]

I was taking the laptop plug out earlier(the powerpoint end) and I must have accidently touched the prongs and got zapped and my whole arm(especially the hand) has been very weird feeling ever since it feels stiff sometimes and other times hot but most of the time feels like pins and needles

LMAO..Keep an eye on it..I have had a few electric shock since being in this place..That feeling wears off bout half an hour maybe a little more if not get to the docs or a hospital first thing in the morning..

[Landy Smurf]

it has been probably an hour now.
If it is still there tomorrow I will go to work and then blame it on work, yay compo

[banjo]

Hy Jim is this the house you seen for rent..Its on main rd glendale..

582 MAIN ROAD Glendale - House for Rent in Glendale NSW 2285 - NSW20915045 - CENTURY 21 Aaron Walter Edgeworth (http://www.century21.com.au/property/nsw20915045/)

[Ausfree]

Not 100% sure Jase, but the description fits the place I saw. How is the rent is it expensive!!!!:) There was activity at the place today, it looked like the previous tennants were moving out!!

[Ausfree]

Just checked "Googlemaps"...Yep....that is it!!!:D:D

[banjo]

Yeah i thought it was that one . Its a bit dear for being on a main road.But still good price Karen said.

[Ausfree]

Yeah, I see they allow pets.!!

[banjo]

Yeah, I see they allow pets.!!

Yeah most realestate add say NO PETS but usualy its ok if your honest they are ok with pets..

[Landy Smurf]

what a long night last night was. left narrabri at tad after 10pm and got home a tad after 1.30am. there was quite a storm most of the way and got the crap scared out of me when a branch fell on the side of the road and had to swerve a little to miss it.
Most people were speeding both on the way there and back, it really annoys me. They get inpatient when I am sitting on 100 in a 100 zone. Even most of the trucks past me when I was doing 100 which is even worse and its annoying when they sit up your bum with their lights shining through.
anyway I got home and straight to bed.

[Landy Smurf]

what have you been up to this week guys?

[banjo]

what have you been up to this week guys?

Bugga all work on the cars..We been talking to the bank about a house loan for out at BrokenHill..Karen had a meeting with them today..Has to go back in a week Thursday to see someone else this time..

[Landy Smurf]

[banjo]

have you been looking at houses out there?

yeah been looking for years at houses out there..Can get good houses for $40 grand & some for $25 grand.Seen them for hundreds aswell..

[banjo]

The council auction off houses for unpaid rates aswell & ive seen those go for as little as a couple of hundred dollars.Some go for a few thousand..

[banjo]

Where looking at around $40 to $50 grand..The bank may lend us upto $70 but will find out for sure next meeting..:D

[Landy Smurf]

i had abit of a look and there is a few houses around the 40-50grand.
What do the kids think?

[banjo]

They will get used to it..Has everything out there thats here..Cody will make friends easy always does..Fred can still do her tafe studies aswell & should be able to find work placement out there aswell.

[Landy Smurf]

exciting times ahead

[JohnF]

Occasionally TV shows such as "A current Affair" have talked about towns where you can get ahouse for $10,000 or less.

I remember one featured town where you could purchase a house block for one dollar. Only catch was you had to start biulding your house within two years.

You could get a house on the New England highway north of Armadale for only $20,000 twenty years ago--I do forget the name of that town-- we considered it ourselves back then.

These were towns where every one moved away, and they looked like becoming Ghost towns. And so the locals were promoting these towns to try to keep the town going.

Good luck in finding the right one. I do think buying a cheap house is better idea than renting, John.

[JohnF]

We are fine Jason, still no power and cut off on an Island from the Logan River:) The genny is giving me a headache though:(

Been cut off many times before....

Mrs hh:angel:

Mrs HH, isnt that a boat you are sitting in, some silastic on seams and doors and it should float. Dont you have a propeller attached to your PTO.

after Christmas holidays my son took a week of work to help a friend with a wedding [setting up hall & catering, etc.] Next week he took another week of work--floods, etc. We lost all our food in frige freezer due to blackout, but others were without power much longer.

[JohnF]

Oh Mrs HH,

I forgot to add, it looks as if you need to put a brolly up when driving in the rain in that LR.

any electric shock that you can feelis enough to kill you if it does go through your heart.

A young electrician I knew died, rewiring a School for nics. So do not risk Electricity [I have had too many shocks myself.]

Well fellow "Embarrassments" we had a good day today, we decided to visit the Singleton Infantry Museum, it was well worth the trip!!:D

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/02/484.jpg

Mrs Aus in front of a Matilda tank outside the Museum!!:D

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/02/485.jpg

Just inside of the door to the actual museum itself, there is a coffee shop and souvenir shop just outside the museum entrance. Once inside I spotted this LandRover Series 2a with a recoilless rifle mounted on it!!:D

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/02/486.jpg

There was also an Iriqious helicopter inside the building!!:D I remember having a ride in one of these when I was in the CMF in the late 1960's!!

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/02/487.jpg

They must have lowered it in before they put the roof on the building!!:confused:

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2015/01/13.jpg

I took quite a few photo's and here is one of an excellent example of a 19th century Gatling gun used by our soldiers in the early years, apparently the navy had them mounted on some of its ships!!

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/02/488.jpg


Afterwards we stopped at Singleton Park to get some piccies of the Matilda Tank that has been there for a number of years, I see they have spruced it up with a new coat of paint.!!

[Ausfree]

Yep, was a great day and there was not too many people there, probably a dozen or so.:D didn't think about Tony (sorry Tony) as it was a spur of the moment thing, you know "wadda feel like doing today" kind of thing!!:D:D

[Landy Smurf]

it is ok Jim. I have not been to the museum for many of years, it is quite good and they are often spending money on the place.
Jason are you busy next tuesday?

[The ho har's]

[Brian]

Hey guys, how is everyone?
Jim, I was looking with interest at your photos of the Iriquois helicopters, as I used to get rides in them when I was a techo in the Williamtown Air Base control tower, back in the late 60's.
One thing caught my eye was a spelling mistake in the description of the Army unit in Singleton, (Matilda Place), can you find it?

Heaps of rain here again, Gympie may be in for another local flood, hope not, the local business people have had 4 in three years, must be a real pain for them, although they know what to do now to prepare for these events.

Kind regards
Brian

Yep, we have already picked it out Brian, the fourth line from the bottom, the word "strength" is mispelt. Isn't it funny how mispelt words seem to jump out at you.:D Actually after having another look at the sign, the word "Regiment" is spelt as "Reciment", really the sign is a disgrace and should be taken down and corrected!!

[Ausfree]

Brian, I think you might remember we discussed flying in the Iriqious helecopters in the late 1960's, I was a Sargent on Bofors at the time and we put a defensive ring of AA guns around Williamtown Airbase, we dug the guns in and camouflaged them (or so we thought) and they took us up in the air in the Iriqious to have a look at our attempts at camouflaging..........well, we were shocked, the guns stood out like you know what.:o The white sand that we dug into didn't help at all against the green grass!!:D

[Landy Smurf]

lol I thought it was one of jims words that was spelt wrong I couldnt find it.
It is quite funny how often in books and signs etc you find spelling mistakes

[Brian]

Gday Jim, I discounted that Regiment as if you look close, it is a G, with a very small extra horizontal mark to differentiate it from a 'c'.

My bad, I just re-read it and you are right, there are several other regiments spelt correctly.

Yes, I do remember our discussion, long time ago eh!

[banjo]

Hey Tony Your going to be busy..Did use get the blue tray back up & running.I know that timming will get use All the set up.It even takes me a while with a new dizzy in setting it all up to find out it wont run so in & out with the dizzy to move the rotor button..:D

[Landy Smurf]

we did have a little fiddle with the dizzy but it is going but it needs a bit finer adjusting on the timing. we need to take the radiator out though because there is a white oilly drip coming from the front of the motor

[Landy Smurf]

but that is going to have to be for my brother and dad to do as I am strapped for time as it is.
doing some shopping at sydney for clothes on wednesday as well. today back to the dentist , sorting more parts out and making some wooden pens with my grandpa

[banjo]

we did have a little fiddle with the dizzy but it is going but it needs a bit finer adjusting on the timing. we need to take the radiator out though because there is a white oilly drip coming from the front of the motor

HHHHMMMMMM not sure what that would be .Whats the oil like on the dipstick..It may just be a loose bolt on one of the front covers As i dont tighten fully till i have them back in the car..& there was not water contamination what so ever before i rebuilt it.I'll have to think about that one.

[Landy Smurf]

it may be a seal at the front there but we will have a quick look some other time. there is a bit of water in the dipstick, not much there but a little

[banjo]

it may be a seal at the front there but we will have a quick look some other time. there is a bit of water in the dipstick, not much there but a little

Could be condensation from sitting so long..Mite need a good tune & a good run..

[Landy Smurf]

it could be condensation it was dripping quite a lot i will get some photos

[banjo]

here should'nt be any water in the oil at all.. The only thing that i encounted when building it was one of the centre head bolts was striped & i drilled it & taped it & put a recoil in it or rethread..& was told & sold the bits from an engine building shop..That may have come loose but i cant see it happening... Before i i even pulled the car apart i was driving it to move it around a bit & there was nothing in the oil at all..Its got me worried now..

[banjo]

I got the badge i brought off ebay the other week.Its for the 50 years of landrover..Its about the size of a largish belt buckle.Now i have to find another one so i can put one on each gaurd of Harry..So if anyone sees one let me know..

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/02/261.jpg

If i cant find another i mite turn this one into a belt buckle..

[Ausfree]

Looks "too new", Jase, you are going to have to put some bumps, nicks and scratches on it to suit the Landy.:wasntme::p

Does'nt matter really.I cant see Harry getting finished anyway..

[banjo]

We be staying here till we get turfed ..That Banks cant help us now..First call they was going to give us a loan of 93k first visit they was going to loan us 70k todays visit they will loan us nothing.My parents where going to go garantors for the loan ..****s ya really even the bank said its not fair as we pay more in rent then most around here pay on there mortage & we can make the repayment..Oh & i rang the realestate again today to see if the owner was going to let us put up a shed , one of those harvey norman one 6 X 3 meters..But they said hes just being a real dick.So we be staying here till we cant afford it..The green car & camper will get 12 months rego in the next few weeks & sold or swaped..Harry will probably get sold off aswell..

[Landy Smurf]

jason I got you some glass for your cab i can bring both sides down so we can see which one is right

[Ausfree]

Jase, there are other people you can go to for home loans besides Banks and Building societies. They are called Low/Doc or Non Conforming loans, the interest rate is higher by about 1 to 2% but their lending criteria is more lenient than the Banks.

Here is a link to one example but I am not saying go to them, do a Google Search!!:D:D


Non Conforming Loans - Specialist Lending Solutions (http://www.nonconformingloans.com.au/)

Another example that I Googled up...

It saves getting the engine crane out just to move the engine around..Its crappy but will do the job.The wheels are crap ones i had laying around here there to small & just crap quality so will replace with some better ones & bigger later on down the track..
