Remember Tony in Qld you have to cover your load, you get a fine, $130.00, for every item that is not covered/straped down in your ute. Harry suggests a blue tarp with with straps/rope over the top.

Mrs hh

I am always finding/seeing blue tarps on the side of the road, so do strap it down well.

Wnet for the interview & got a trial on Thursday at 9 So she went for that & was showed around & did some jobs..Was there for about 3 hours & the boss said Thanks & he will give her a ring ,Has others doing the same thing,So fingers crossed for her..I'm very proud of Fred for it as she does have a lot of my anxieties..She is still doing her work placement at Argy pets for the 4 hours on a Friday & a Saturday mornings..She can go for her Ps in June i think the 14th at the earliest so she said she is going to book in for the 14th..She has been going to talk to tattoo shops on her own as she wants to get a full sleeve & is talking to then about what she wants , Its all grey wash & will look good when its all done . She has the money saved for it so just needs to sort what she wants & book in..She will sit for about 6 to 7 hours At a cost of about $500 to $600 for the day..Looks like it will rain today ..Have a few things to do today but a bit slower ..Its been bloody cold here most mornings ..Even had to have the heater on of a night ..

tell Fred that some of us are proud of her as well, and some of us also have anxieties.

You've got to much money , your always looking at landrovers or parts or parts cars..I recon your making a business out of it...

The thought has crossed my mind several times

I've been finishing off the landy 2.25. Just about done.& ive been working on the V8 out of Harry.Checked all the numbers today & it was built on the 9th of April 1973 at 5 o'clock..& its still all standard theres been no work done to it at all..Will be deburring the inside of the block soon then it will go around to the machine shop just around the corner to be chemicaly cleaned & have the machine work done..Being bored 40 tho decked & the cam bearings will all be bored & new cam bearings fitted.The crank Bearings will all be bored so will all the rods..I have to check the engine number just to make sure it was'nt stollen..NOT SAYING Drifter stole it .Just incase, The person Drifter brought it off never got it registered so i'll just check..Hope not i hate getting new engine numbers..LMAO..It will be running ALUMINIUM heads with stainless steal valves & seats for the ULP..A new electronic dizzy with built in coil.New inlet manifold With new holley with new offroad kit through it that way it dont stall on angles..The crank will get a regrind if i dont use a 308 crank.Also looking for some block hugger headers for it or i'l get the kit & make some..Its been awhile since i've been working on the holden V8s its starting to come back..If i end up getting a garage here i'm going to start making alot more stuff for the landy's & i would'nt mind doing engines again.I'm also looking into getting a TIG welder & a plasma cutter to make life a little easier.I've never used a TIG before but know how they work & whats involved so a bit of practice should get me going on it..cant believe how cheap plasma cutters are now..TIGs are'nt that dear these days..Just stuff i'm thinking of doing or dreaming of doing..I would'nt mind making some aluminium fuel tanks & door tops , I've just got to find the right shape for the door tops & i'm nearly there on that..But if i can get some the right shape i'm going to do door frames aswell..The landy engine is all Brandnew..Brandnew cam bearings main bearings rod bearings .Brandnew fuel pump,Carby, Electronic dizzy.These are designed to work with a standard coil.New hose & belt kit.brandnew clutch went on today has new throwout bearing & the little clip.New rings mostly all new bolts on the manifolds New bolts on the rocker shaft.All gaskets done & new cork in the rear main. I dont know why everyone has so much trouble with them mine go in easy using a couple of feeler gauges .So its just like a BRANDNEW engine now..& it even looks pretty..
