Moving on.

Its the process we go through when you geta drama in your life.

Its like when you have a car prang.

1. Oh shid
2. Stupid idiot should have looked out for me
3. Oh no, this will cost heaps, and all that paperwork and....
4. It wasn't my fault the light was only a little bit red.
5. I guess it really was my fault for rushing
6. It's just a bad memory now. I wont do that again.

It's very easy to get caught at 3 & 4 and go round in circles eating yourself up. You've gotta dig yourself out and keep working through the list.

Now you're probably somewhere between Anger and Deppression....

You may well end up selling it but wait a while and then make a calm decision in the cold hard light of day.

Go and get some more ink....take you're mind off it.

Hey it sure did..Got this lastnight..

Well I also did this yesterday just to fill in some time..
Helicoil tap & tool..




Hole drilled



Helicoil in



All back together











THIS IS THE COLOUR I GOT FOR IT..

I did this today

Adapter ring on



Flywheel on



Clutch plate & aligning tool..



Clutch housing or pressure plate on



New thrust barring or throwout barring what every ya want to call it..



AND managed to get this done ..













.
ITS been a long time since i put a brandnew clutch in & when i was tightening the pressure plate up i noticed all the fingers went in as i did it up..Not sure if that right cant remember but i guess its ok as the clutch plate can only go on one way..
Anyway thats where i am upto..

Can i go home now..

Thats Terrific Banjo. I hope you stick with the project, I have enjoyed seeing the progress on this. Looks like you have the same clutch aligning tool as me!

It does look good with the motor in the Chassis!

Nice one Banjo.
Love the orange. It's a bit like that G4 colour.
(MMMmm 101 in Orange)
Good to see you "back on the horse". Harry will be awesome when you finish.

Looking good mate, can't wait to see the end result!!

Great to see you getting there Banjo..if slowly

Mrs hh

ps we may be down that way around the 25th Sept....expo

Hang in there, Banjo. The helicoil will work. Engine looks fantastic. The whole lot looks very impressive in the chassis.

I spoke with Jeff and Terry again at 4x4 - got some Disco bits from them - just waiting for the most needed bits to arrive now the bits that weren't so important have already arrived...

Keep going forward, mate. There is always a fix. Don't let the small stuff set you back (I am talking about the rebuild here but you already know it applies to the other stuff too). Your work and high standards always impress me.
