If you need space I could look after a smaller one, you know just to help out.... probably best to select one without a gloss paint... and maybe if you have one that is shorter on the back corners thanQuote:

Well, the fleet has been checked and given the all clear, not a single item wrong anywhere (phew) all now garaged where they should be, now maybe I can get on with doing what I should be, the Series 1, cheers Dennis
I'm up in a foreign land ATM (Qld) lol, I walk into my son in laws shed and who do I see

Pedro!!!! he is everywhere (sorry about the sideways image) so I guess that I won't be working on the Series 1 for a few daze, cheers Dennis
Hey Dennis,
You can come and finish mine off while you are here. Brakes need a bit of attention.
Cheers,

Today I spent around 5.5hrs with 'Chinook flyer' dismantling his late model S2A 109 GS, we reduced it to a chassis, it's now on stands, all he needs to do now is clean the crud off the chassis (oil/dirt combo) and get it grit blasted/etch primed, then start the rebuild starting with the chassis repairs/springs/diff housings, was great to get my hands dirty LOL, cheers Dennis.
ps Brissrus, mate I couldn't handle the traffic in Brisbane, I'd be too worried somebody with no rego/insurance would run into my 31 year old 110,,lol.
pps no photos either as I didn't take a camera, yeah I know the rulz, but they have to be broken sometimes lol, well to be honest I forgot to take it (but don't tell anyone,,.
Pity you are not in Brisbane , you could have had a look through my parts to see if there wasn't anything you needed.
This issue of the turn sig's not working had me beat for daze, it was doing my head in LOL, I had posted in the S1 club website and 'Klonk & Russelrovers' responded, so I had that backup to fall on if needed.
After some thought, I went cap in hand to see my neighbor who is a retired 'auto sparkie' I went over what I had done, told him the wiring loom is new so is the switch/flasher can, it had him beat as all I could get it to do was flash R<>L but when the pilot light was in the system the can continued to flash until you took the wire off the can???, anyway with a couple of short strips of wire with the ends stripped of their insulation, he twisted them together and placed each of the other ends into the R<>L wires respectively, the flasher can when the switch was activated worked, so did the pilot light up on the switch and when the switch was cancelled the pilot light was extinguished, system working as it should, all I have to do now is make up that short connection and move onto something else, yippee, cheers Dennis
PS here is my little 'twist' LOL with the correct colour codes G/W & G/R

While I was away up north, we had some crappy weather here, coming home to a yard full of palm fronds (the horrible ones with jagged razor edges on them), well we had to do something quick, so about 15 of them got cut into small pieces and loaded into the rubbish bin for Wednesday morning, on that same day I was a tad ordinary as I didn't sleep well after the drive back from Qld and it mizzled on n off, Friday was full on getting rid of the remainder (40+ fronds) cut up in the No5 and the back of the 110 chocka.
After having got through the turn signal issue it was time to re-fit the rhs guard, so into the box with all the painted bolts etc, shock horror I'm 7 bolts short + all the washers, now I was sure that I had everything ready to go, maybe I will find the 7 missing bolts in a year or two, so it was into my supply of bolts to get what I needed washers etc, grit blast them, run them down with tap n die, etch prime undersides painted flat black

then mix a small amount of Deep Bronze Green n hardener spray them all, except one bolt which had to have one side in Gloss Black, it's by itself on the other cardboard

I was able to fit the guard in a fashion with 3 bolts

only to find that I had the wrong colour lense for the turn signal, luckily I have other spares LOL anyway that's been part of my day, cheers Dennis
Gee its starting to look a bit real,,:cool:
