Thread: Before and After Pics

There was a spare steering box sitting in that vehicle - we looked at it - but it was a bit longer and we would have had to muck around with another steering wheel and stuff

It was easier to haul the one out of the S1 down the bottom under the trees and clean that up. As Toad says, it was in remarkably good condition and we found a heap of spares for a very good price...

The parabolics got cleaned up and painted - they will be ready for install next weekend. Hopefully the canvas will have arrived by then too. And the vent and door seals (originals).

More importantly - did you paint the red wheel??

I think we were leaving that for you

Ya know, Garry, if you had spent less time jumping around in puddles, the red wheel could have been painted

Supervisors supervise - not paint red wheels

The Toadmobile as of today.


Drifter polishing his balls.


Toad lubricating his balls


Me (behind the scenes)supervising Drifter and Toad installing some parabolic springs to the Toadmobile

I still haven't found that puddle that produced the wet balls...

It was a good day, actually. All 4 parabolics installed. Steering box rebuilt and will be installed tomorrow.

Might even get a splash of paint on that red wheel... tomorrow...

Toad,

Here is that bull bar - weighs about 35-40kg. Solid steel and well made


Here is what it looked like on its previous vehicle




This is the hardtop - just needs a cleanup, new window rubbers and the rooftop vents removed and some aluminium sheet blind rivetted in.




I have got to do a few things tomorrow so won't be down until after lunch. I will expect the floor to be screwed down, the spring bolts tightened up, air fliter in, new tie rods ends where needed, 200kg of weight in the back to settle the rear springs and an extensive test drive completed.

Put Drifter in the back - he will help settle the springs.

Supervising again?

Ah, no, I see - project management...

Remember, I still have the picture of you diving for the soap - er - supervising...
