Just going through my emails - it takes a while :mad:

What I should have been doing is taking pictures of the rebuild effort. I have a few 'snaps' but nothing serious and there have been lots of times when I should have taken some.

This past weekend:

All I managed to get done was:

completed the wiring
installed Series 3/late 2a wipers (single motor) - all in and working!
created mount points for facia panel that covers wiper spindle and control line.
drilled and cut holes and installed demister tubing and demister heads

I was about to go and install new park and indicator lights all round - one park light was refusing to function last weekend so I ordered a whole new set - but now the original is working so I'll leave that for now.

Next steps:
strip down the heater assy - clean and pressure test - check lecky motor and bearings - mount in vehicle
finish refurbishing steering wheel and mount that back in the vehicle

neither of those will get done any time soon https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2010/03/96.jpg

and after all that -
I am getting close to getting an engine ready for it
I need to sort out an exhaust system
I need to get the seats recovered
I have ordered new door rubbers
I am about to order new rear and side window rubbers
I am about to order two new door tops and possibly a passenger door.

Then I get to sort out the brakes and clutch hydraulics


so - still a bit to do :)

[Ausfree]

I'm here Banjo!!!:)

[Sleepy]

Hehehe....Nah Aus was at work and I was having a nanna nap.:p Living up to my name again.

Hey Banjo, what shockers do you reckon I should put on my Series 3? Thinking of a new steering damper too.

I search here on aulro but takes 90 secs between each search so takes forever:mad: Haven't found any good threads.

[Sleepy]

Thanks Jas, just sent them an email - I love the internet. :D Yeah I will stick with standard set up.
I will have a go at fitting them myself. No idea but it doesn't look that hard. (He says looking for his bike helmet :lol2:)

[Grockle]

aye up you two

[drifter]

NA couple of weeks you will be all done.
I made a whole new wireing harness for mine.

That's what I did.

The park light will be the earth on that one light.

I checked that at the time. Pulled the light apart and looked up the socket - the connection inside looked nurfed - that's when I said 'SOD it' and ordered all new lights all around.


Heater assembaly WHATS THAT mine didn't have one so i never put one in it .but super crap sell those new ceramic one so i will use those when it gets cool not cold enuff yet to worry about that..

I mainly wanted mine to demist the windscreen. Pulled it out of the donor.


Steering wheel i have a sports one SMALL.

Mine is the standard one - and I'll use that since I just bought a brand new horn assembly for the middle of it.


I used defender door rubbers allround second hand.
My side window rubbers came from CLARK RUBBER was heaps cheaper buy it the length.

The door rubbers are coming from the UK. The window rubber from Clarks will cost around $146 - so I am trying to find a better option.


I need a new door top for drivers side passenger side one is an allor one would love one for the drivers side to no rust.

I'm looking at the alloy door tops - a bit pricey though.


The brakes dont go there mine where a nightmare, i had to take the whole assembaly off & sit them upside down on the swivel to bleed them properly,if you have trouble i will send you some pics & info on how we got mine done fatty's graet on brakes actualy she's good on all things resto she helped me with all mine i just dont let her weld although it is funny to watch.

My stepson has a bleeder unit that works on compressed air so we will be giving it a shot with that first.

Good to hear Fatty was useful. Mine is embarrassed, I think, and now wants it off the front yard. I said it will go when I can drive it off!

Dead easy sleeps its just the rear ones if the bottum pin is rusty it makes it a real mongrel to get undone a pair of stillsons work great to hold the shock while you undo the nut..

[banjo]

That's what I did.

I don't know how to do that multi quote thing.
I STILL CANT BELIVE YOU ARE USING A SWB FOR A DONOR.

I search here on aulro but takes 90 secs between each search so takes forever:mad: Haven't found any good threads.

Hey sleeps what I do when i'm on a searching bender is use google to do site specific searches.. put "site:aulro.com" in the query box and search away! very quick and lessens the load on the sacred server...

[banjo]

Bloody raining.
hope it doesn't get much heavier as i will end up losing some tools.Little shed leaks but only when the rain is heavy..:mad:

[DiscoMick]

Yeah, I have the same problem with my garden shed, which was here when we bought this house. Several attempts to stop it leaking have failed. I've lifted everything I can on shelves and stands, but its still a pain. I think the only answer is going to be to raise the concrete floor, which will mean dismantling the shed, so I'm not looking forward to that. Maybe it will eventually stop raining...

Funny, it's the roof that leaks when it rains in England, not the floor.
Comes from being upside-down I s'pose?

[DiscoMick]

Nah, the roof is OK but the water runs in under the bottom of the walls from the slab outside.

[JohnF]

Banjo, might be worth while emptying a tube of silastic on the leaks to try to stop them, John.

[banjo]

Banjo, might be worth while emptying a tube of silastic on the leaks to try to stop them, John.


Yeah i been plugging them ..

[banjo]

Well thanks to the steady rain not to heavy just steady we have now found about 4 leaks in the car gggrrrrr :mad::mad: & i cant do a thing about them till the rain stops & fatty doesn't need the car....:mad::mad::mad::twisted::twisted:

[banjo]

Well just went out to the little shed & my big red tool box is now in water with nowhere to move it to,most of my electric tools are under everything & slightly wet & i cant move anything till it stops & i can empty it all out & try to repack it all... :mad::(:o.

Hey Jason, got a reply from David at all4x4 already :)- very good price too:D, thanks for the tip. He is still to work out the postage so that may be the killer :(

[banjo]

$30 postage (he just emailed) better than I can get down here:D Beauty!:BigThumb:

[banjo]

We have to turn the power off at the meter box for the stove still as the owner doesn't belive its as bad as we say,cause the last tenants didn't report it they just turned it off for 3 years.Well we forgot last night till 3am when the buzzer went off & woke everyone up,that the longest we have had it stay off its usualy only 30mins at most :mad:..
Its just the buzzer its stuffed its the old type looks like a clock ,Fatty told them today to tell the owner to keep an eye on the front lawn as it could end up there if he dont want to fix it.:D

[banjo]

$30 postage (he just emailed) better than I can get down here:D Beauty!:BigThumb:

[Grockle]

[banjo]

Mornin all.
Well its een raining all night & i don't even want to go check the car or the shed i know both will be full of water....

[DeanoH]

Hi Banjo and family, got webbed feet yet ?

Deano:)

[banjo]

G'day Deano
I just come in from checking the shed & checked the car when fatty took the kids to school & surprisingly its not that bad.The shed has water over the floor but since i lifted the most of my tools as best i could they seem ok once the rain stops i can get out there & empty the shed & fix the holes now i know where they are it shout be good.

[DeanoH]

Oh well! Plenty of Silastic for the shed and RP7 for the tools. Should keep you out of trouble for the rest of the day.
Taking the OKA down for its roadworthy today, will tell you more later.

Deano:)

[DeanoH]

Had a bit of a storm down here a couple of weeks ago. Hailstones went through the polycarbonate roofing on the shed and filled my toolbox's and socket cases up with water. Fortunately electrical stuff was in a steel cupboard and survived OK. 2 days, 2 cans of RP7 and 4 new sheets of polycarbonate (at vast expense) all was fixed.
Got the Road Worthy Certificate OK for the Oka, I think you guys have pink slips and blue slips and things up there. Whats the difference, pink for girly cars and blue for macho machines?:)

Deano:)

[DiscoMick]

Move to Qld where you don't have to have an inspection before renewing rego, except for the initial rego or if transferring a vehicle interstate. :cool:
Hard to tell of course, but I haven't observed an excessive number of obviously unsafe vehicles swanning around.

Hard to tell of course, but I haven't observed an excessive number of obviously unsafe vehicles swanning around.

They've got some real funny regs. though. I bought a P38 in Brisbane about 12 months ago. I picked it up that day Brisbane had its biggest storm since whenever. Everything was flooded. Picked up the Rangey and drove it back to Melbourne. I had Qld RWC, proof of ownership and rego papers. Rang Qld rego mob who told be I had to have 100 points worth of police annotated documentation as well to transfer rego but only if I had a Qld license or had previously had a Qld license. With a Vic license I had to front IN PERSON to transfer the rego. Crazy. In the end I just ran it till the Qld rego ran out, and re-registered in Vic. So in the end Qld missed out on the transfer fee.
The 'Smart State', NOT.

Deano:)

[DiscoMick]

Wasn't it simpler to do as you did and just transfer it in Victroia?

[DeanoH]

Wasn't it simpler to do as you did and just transfer it in Victroia?

Cost and bother of getting Vic RWC as Qld RWC no good here. Also wanted to base the vehcle in Mackay, so Qld rego would have been better.

Hi Banjo.

Hi John yeah i thought i had saved that info aswell but now i cant find it..

[banjo]

Hi Aus so what you been upto on your day off...

[banjo]

Hey sleeps did you order those parts or just getting prices at the moment.
Fatty was going to go up & see them today but we got paid a day early with the long weekend so she went & done the shopping today to get it out of the way plus to beat the crowd,shops are only closed for 1 day up here but the way people go crazy with there shopping you would think they where going to be shut for a month or more...

[JohnF]

Hi John yeah i thought i had saved that info aswell but now i cant find it..

Ian's post number 523 has it quoted, but could not find it elsewhere. But have the old page 54 with the original post by Vixen saved on my hard drive.

[Ausfree]

Hi Aus so what you been upto on your day off... Well, Banjo if you really want to know I went to the Doctors to get the results of a blood test (as you know I have had bowel cancer) as I like to keep an eye on my CEA level (which is a cancer marker for bowel cancer) and good news, its normal but my vitamin D level is down a bit which apparently is a normal condition when you are a bit older, the Doctor suggested I keep an eye on it. Then I went to the library, saw the Pub was open and thought "Gee, it would be rude of me to walk past and not say, hello" so I went in and next thing there is a schooner placed in front of me, now I could'nt be rude and just walk off could I.Then I went and bought some chinese takeaway, hired a couple of DVD's to watch later and walked home and here I am.:D:D

[Grockle]

has it stopped raining Jas

[banjo]

Yeah thank god ,but its overcast & more rain is on its way so they say.

[Sleepy]

Hello Embaressments.:D

Yes Jas , will go ahead with the purchase - just got to ring him with a credit card number. :angel:

Aus,
Glad to see all the indicators are good:), I have a very close friend that is 4 years and 11 months from a nasty episode. I will feel much more comfortable when that milestone of 5 years in the green ticks over.

[Sleepy]

I cleaned up my shed today. Wow what a lot of dirt. We had developers next door, last year and they kicked up soooo much dirt. Pulled everything out of the shed and started again. Lots of fun cause I found stuff that was "lost". CB radio, angle grinder, lots of other bits too. :D

[Grockle]

whilst cleaning out a shed some years ago I found a neighbour I'd not seem for months his wife called off the Police search :o:D

[Sleepy]

Thats like my shed Grockle, I found a jerry can full of engine oil ......no big deal, however.......I put the oil in there in 1986!:o
I wonder if 24 year old engine oil is any good. Or, perhaps I can just run the diesel on it.:D

At least it has preserved the jerry can well!

Gees i hope you don't need the angle grinder for when your parts get there..
Thats what usualy happens to me when i find something i have't been able to find ,i find it then end up needing it.Makes me think if i didn't find it would i have needed it..:angel:.

I get my local fish n chip shop to let me know when there old oil is being picked up & i take all my old oil there when the guy cumes to pick it up,he vacumns my drum out & he gets my old oil & i get a empty drum to fill up again...

Is he a commercial guy or just someone (like Blknight) that just loves free energy....

In my former life I used to just tip it behind the shed - kept the weeds down.:whistling:

I thought about running my old diesel on bio fuel but the CAV pump is a little bit precocious so not willing to risk it.

I have heard that a true diesel owners pour the used oil into the fuel tank!....I like that idea (never had the guts yet though)....s'pose you'd want to filter the gunk out first.:angel:

No idea you should ask dave he would be the one to talk to on it...

[JohnF]

There are other uses for old oil. A guy I worked for in Job skills in the mid 1990's, had a filer set up for filtering old oil. First over magnets to remove iron particles, etc., then though asettling tank, etc.

Then he used it as chain bar oil for his 7 chainsaws.

GGRRRR!:censored:

Sorry to hear that. I kinda hoped there'd be some good news by this stage. Hope it works out OK. I did two half assed re-builds of my old Series IIA before I finally bit the bullet and did it right. Cost me a fortune by being lousy and cutting corners. If I'd done it right the first time I would have saved heaps. That's called hindsight. Any way it lasted me another 9 years after I did it properly; hope you have a similiar result. otherwise buy a D2 and open a brand new can of worms!:twisted:

Deano:)

[banjo]

Don't you get it back this week Aus..Hopefully anyway...:angel::angel:

Been for 3 walks since we been in this place mind you it was only to get a pie & its about 5 houses away :angel:.

[Ausfree]

You are only half the distance to the pie shop now Banj.:) Guess what off to sidunee AGAINtomorrow.

He use to give me a tip when i worked at the old SOLO garage on bluegum rd Jesmond when it was a servo now its a berger place.He use to have jag & i would fill it up but i would always put my rag down first so it wouldn't splash on his car..So he gave me a tip, i think it was about $5 back then..Nice bloke to always spoke to me didn't snob me like some of the wealthier people to come in.they all used to come there cause it wasn't self serve i was the driveway attendant..use to fill & check oils pump tyres up clean windscreens,,You don't see that anymore anywhere..

[Ausfree]

Yeah, Kip drives around now in the latest Bentley.Speaking of working in servo's I did that too in the 70's. One of the blokes I worked for was Don Thomas the Jaguar mechanic when he had the Ampol garage down at Kotara where the bank is now right on the corner in front of KFC chickens. Don used to drive around in a Jaguar E-Type. I saw many Jaguars there in various states of repair. It was very interesting, the Jaguar straight six 4.2 litre motor was a beautiful motor to look at and went well too!!!:D

[Sleepy]

I used to do that too Jason (only Caltex;)). The funny thing is I reckon I could move more cars through the driveway than they do now. I could have 4 tanks filling at once, check water, oil, tyres, fill the can of kero in the boot - you name it. We got really busy and I could fill 4 cars in a couple of mins. Most people didn't even get out of the car.
Thats when they were called SERVICE stations.

(That was 1978, I was paid $1.50 and hour ; Fuel was 18 cents/litre for standard and - 19 for super!:D)

[Ausfree]

Hey Sleeps, you must be of my vintage, I will tell you a story which is very true.
One day in about 1976 these two young chicks drove into the garage with a plastic bucket and asked me to fill it with petrol, which I duly did. ( you could do those things in those days).I filled the bucket about three parts full and these two chicks hopped back in the car and the chick in the passenger seat put the bucket on the floor and held it with her feet.
she then proceeded to Light a cigarette, and I came up to the window and said " um, I would suggest you don't do that as petrol is highly inflammable". That remains to this day in my mind, the dumbest thing that anybody can do.:imwithstupid:

[Sleepy]

Yeah I used to smoke while I was on the driveway too. What an idiot (x2!)

[drifter]

Evening all. Hey Banjo - tomorrow is already shaping up to be a very busy day so I will talk to the boss to get some time off on Wednesday (I have worked over 48 hours this weekend so he owes me some time) and I'll get to the post office and send that book.

Yep i could have all 5 pumps going at onces all for diferant amounts you just new when it would be time to stop.We had a diesel pump away to the side & i watch a blond fill her brandnew dunnydoor with diesel,was to impatient to wait for me to walk over to tell her thats diesel,She started to try & blame me the boss took her out the front to the sign & said what does that say,it was the sign for the not self serve :D..

[banjo]

Yeah I used to smoke while I was on the driveway too. What an idiot (x2!)

I smoked while doing diesel as it was way over the side & the boss said that was the safest place to smoke if i must have one he said diesel wasn't as volotile..:angel:

I don't know about that,I still have bouts where i think to myself was this the right thing to do.Its hard to comprehend all thats been said & how much its helped me & fatty.My first couple of years on here all i done was read posts.I wasn't game to post anything so many brainiacs on here for me to post up.Plus i didn't realy know what to post or say,The kids & karen got me to sign up for that facebook thing & tonight i got an email saying someone wanted to add me as a friend well it was my best friend in school so i messaged him & told the truth so i seriously doubt i will here from him again.He asked what i was upto & what have i been doing thats why.It seems alot of people read this thread & so many thanked me in the first post its unbelievable & i wasn't going to check this thread after i first posted was very unsure what to expect i realy thought i would be laughted off the site.Fatty seems to notice a change in me . I feel happier more relaxed to talk to people even used the fone & thats something i do not do ,As my voice gets shacky if i get even a little nervous & sometime it can cause a stutter which is real bad because then i cant speak properly & most people just hangup when its happend & don't ring back & i'm to embarest to call back..I'm just lucky use are used to me on here as my spelling is bad so most don't talk to me as they have trouble understanding what i'm trying to say..And threw this thread i have learnt alot from all who post but i have learnt alot about myself & what i am capable of ,Its amazing what a little bit of conferdance can do to ones self asteam. I am realy enjoying the friendships i have gained & want to build on i am determind to shake hands with everyone at some stage somehow.Its funny i get a buzz watching the views go up on this thread & still look forward to getting replys..I even walked to the shop ( i know i said it before) & yes it is only 5 or 6 houses away but i usualy have trouble just to get to the letterbox so it is a big thing for me & for fatty as we went together & i have done it 3 times 2 to the pie shop & 1 to the fish n chip shop just around the corner.Cody has a pushbick that he rides everywhere so i dug out this old one we have so i could do it up a bit & go for a ride with him, that should be interesting.I'm looking forward to hearing about how sleeps outback trec goes as i don't know anyone else who going should be a good yarn, so make sure you get lots of pics sleeps.I envy most of you if not all of you use get to goto work ,I would love to be able to do that,but it never works .I would love to find something i could do from home.Something with my hands & tools ..I recon my perfect job would be to work in a wrecking yard or even beter a landrover yard..I recon that would be heaven..

Nice mate.
Bike riding with Cody is a good idea. - lots of fun too.

It's all good mate - we can all see some progress in you and that's a wonderful thing.

I was going to be going on that Outback trek that Sleepy is going on (the club I belong to is organising it) but I have some problems of my own coming up and won't be able to make it - never mind - I am hoping there will be another one further down the track that I will be able to attend.

I'm quietly glad I don't have a pie or fish & chip shop within walking distance - I am a fat enough bastard now - one of those shops would be the death of me! :)

Good on you for thinking about the biking - let us know how your thoughts are going and if you do it.

I wouldn't mind working in a wreckers, either. Only problem I could see is I would want to 'rescue' every vehicle as a do-er-upper :D

Yeah i like folk music .It great in the car.

[Sleepy]

Thanks Jason.
Oh, and thanks for being my 1000th "thanks":D

[Ausfree]

Hey Banj, you are making progress, now all you have to do is put some spaces in your longer postings so we can read it easier!!:D:DDon't eat too many pies mate!!!:):)

[JohnF]

well i got a bit more in the little shed today,Not much still trying to find some places for everything, apparently i have to many tools (toys).Still have trailer full yet gotta find somewhere for all that to..:mad::mad:

Shipping Container? Build yourself a workshop trailer?

[JohnF]

Crikey Jase! Is this rear wheel carrier number 43 or the same one still under construction. It'll probably have turned to rust with all the rain you've had.:Rolling:

Deano:)

Jason, If it turn to rust, rust convert it, paint it and sell it on e-bay to Deano, then build yourself another one.

[JohnF]

Thanks but fatty said if i cant work it out she just going to get rid of it..
Which sux as she will be using my car even more.:angel:

Get it going and get rid of it and use the money to buy Mrs Banjo a good Land Rover of her own so she does not always drive yours. With all the money Ausfree has spent on his Freelander should be a good buy at the moment. :D

Actually I saw a good looking strait Freelander in the wreckers, and reconditioned gearbox/motor transplant into it would give us a good second car, but decided against that idea.

But if Mrs Banjo drives your Series Rover and likes it, buy a second Series Landrover for her to replace the craptota, and get one for Junior to fix up for when she is ready to learn to drive is my suggestion.

G'day drifter i hope i didn't sound like i was rushing you.When you rang i couldn't see me phone had my sunnies on so didn't know who was calling & i hesitated about answering it.I have now adjusted the brightness & can see it.So i'm going to put everyones number in my phone so it shows who it is calling me.Plus I have groups so i'm putting use all in a group called AULRO surport team hehehe & giving it a ring tone so i will answer it knowing it will be one of use....:angel::p;)

Na its not to bad freds always out with the boyfriend (ben) goes at 9am gets home bout 5 to 5.30 pm, & Cody usualy goes to one of his mates till lunch ,comes home for lunch them gorn till about 5 pm for him..

[drifter]

Nah - you weren't rushing at all - I was in a hurry so that's why it was a very quick call - plus I figured it was the first time you had spoken to me so if I was real quick you wouldn't have time to feel uneasy ;)

Anyways - 2 to 3 days and you should have it and be all ready to do some diagnostics on the Toymota

[banjo]

I've got one too ... just around the corner ... AND it's open 24/7 ! :)

How good is that! .... feeling a bit peckish at 2.30AM ... not a problem!

Kev..

I'm glad the one near us closes at 4.30 in the arvo.Although the kids go up about 4.15 to get a pie for $3 & come home with a bag full of pies ,Sausage rolls,Cakes & bread cause they just throw them out :eek:.Dog loves the pies & cody will take them to school he eats them cold,He has taste in his ass.. There cheese & bacon pies are the best huge chunks of bacon lots of cheese & meat..

It's amazing how much stuff gets thrown out eh ? My wife works at an IGA and brings home ... well, lets just say we could feed 1/2 the street every week for free :eek:

They'd rather the staff take it, and it's all then reshared/given away to family members & friends ... it's a filthy amount, really. We eat well! :)

Hhhhmmmm ...... Cheese & Bacon pies .... :wasntme:

Kev..

[banjo]

Well it should be an interesting afternoon here we have the owner coming over to look at the stove ,He recons its not that bad that the buzzer goes off at all hours of the night.Plus i went for a shower this mornin & when i turned the hot water off it still was as if it was still on so we had to turn it off at the hot water system.My step father has his own bussiness they are plumbers & i worked for him for years while at school & after on & off so yes i can fix it & yes i do know what is wrong with it,its not just a washer the whole spindle needs to be pulled apart cleaned & fit a new O ring & regrease the inside of it all, I have done this i don't know how many times..As for the stove it needs to be pulled apart & have the buzzer disconected & it would be fine, Did i mention its from the stone age. You can buy a small buzzer from any cheap shop for $2 that would be fine to replace it. If he had fixed the stove in the first week we where here & let them know it was stuffed i would of fixed his taps cause the one in the basin is stuffed its seezed.& i dont pay for taps , showers or dunnies i get them off my step father to fix what needs to be fixed..So he can go jump now.
& now that the interest rates have just gone up we are sure we will get a letter in the next couple of weeks to say the cost of living has gone up so our rent will increase as well..
In the last 5 yrs in the old house our rent went up every 6 months so we recon its going to start straight away in this place..

We would love to just sell every thing & travel.Build a trailer first & get one of those tent tops for it.Then just go travel around Australia for a few years. Dont think we could handle the home schooling thow....

Jason, just be careful that you yourself do not end up with the nickname "Fatty" because you eat too much of this sort of thing. Leave some room for healthy fruit and Vegies. Hint, hint, grow a vegie garden.

Moderation in all things is better thinking than most people out there do have.

When it is free or cheap, certainly helps with lowering grocery bills, leaving more money to fix Mrs Banjo's Toyota, etc.

Certainly feed your dog this stuff, and let him get plenty of exercise to run it off.

[banjo]

Well we met the new owner this afternoon & thought we where going to have trouble getting stuff fixed ..How wrong where we the bloke is a realy nice guy & the house is a long term thing for them he was hapy to hear that we where at the old place for 11 years, said if he could help with a garage he would its just they are building a new house at the moment so funds are realy tite for them.So i asked if i could build one over time & he said by allmeans.Said if he could help he would when he can.Was happy that we are looking after the lawn.Was happy we are interested in a vegie garden & told us we could use all the area behind the little shed & if we wanted it bigger just move some stuff & go for it.. So it looks like we lucked in for a change ..I told him that my step father was a plumber & all his family where all in the building trade & that i have dome work for most of them & we would be fixing most things that pop up, He was realy glad that we would do that as it takes some load of him, Plus he said you help us we help you..Works both ways so we where happy he said that..

[Sleepy]

Hi Karen,
Yeah Dave was a nice guy. I felt I stuffed him around a bit because he tried to ring me about 5 times (I was asleep on the couch :lol2:) Anyway he finally got me last night and he fixed me up.
Really happy with the price as was cheaper than I can get down here and saves me an hour and a half drive. All for $30 postage which I thought was a great deal - he mentioned you too and said thanks for getting him some buisness. (I'd ask him for some more freebies ,......hehehehe)

Anyway I think some of us feel a duty to you guys to prove that life isn't always crappy.:D:D:D

Cheers - I better help dinga clean up - she is giving me evil eyes.:angel:

Bye

[LandyAndy]

Enjoy Banjo and Fatty.
Andrew

[LandyAndy]

Hey Banjo
Once that tojomojo is mobile and ready to go.Get fatty to take a drive in an Rangie or D1.
You can get them pretty cheap these days.
Plenty of young fellas will want that gutlux as a first 4x4,so it will have a little value.
GOODLUCK
Andrew
