Truck filled up.
About to hook up and pack Grizz-Pod caravan.
Tomorrow I am off on an 800km weekend with 300 hungry horses.
Here's to everything staying together.

And at $2.18 per liter I will be hurting.

I screwed up.

Did not fit the dust covers correctly so he refused to check it.

Booked in at a local garage to redo on 3rd Sept and also fit new brake discs and pads all the way around.

Gutted but was gping to get the brakes done anyway.

Cabinets are good and my wife fortunately "gets it"!
I have thought that maybe one day when I have replaced all my wooden cabinets (one more to go) and if I feel brave, I will empty them all, take them outside and prep n paint the lot in one colour but it would have to be a rather special day.......
In the mean time I have swopped a roller door cabinet that was up at the house for refuse/recycling and BBQ fire lighters pesticides etc for the large one on the truck and replaced a wooden/chipboard unit in the garage. The narrow one has found a spot too.
Weather was not conducive to cutting and welding with driving rain yesterday so no smoker build.

No idea what the mirrors are off, but they are large and adjust on multiple levels. Once painted to match with black mount/arms and red bodies, they should look at home on the truck when towing.

I seem to have missed out on an update a few weeks ago....

Came home from work and there were two parcels, one with some plates for the collection.

And a second one from Markeb01.

He had noted a while back that my front bumper had holes covered by skull nuts. And had then sent me a PM asking about the holes, offering me the fog lights off his truck to cover the holes....... Would I be interested? Hell, Yeahhhh!! So I replied that I most certainly would be interested if he let me pay the postage.
In the end Mark refused the postage, but we agreed that I would send him something special from my collection in return, which went out last week, it is a surprise, so I hope he likes it.

Mark had made up a complete fire retardent wiring harness for me, with toggle switch, relay and instructions. In the same parcel there were replacement wiper arms for the truck and and some of his old number plates. And lastly, and interior light cover as these often do not survive.

Look at the quality and condition.

These babies will only get fitted once the truck is repainted.

Thanks Mark.

Ta2Don · 08-31-2013, 04:40 PM

Nice Work on the Glove Box Inner and Nice Score on the Mirrors and other Plates and Parts too!

markeb01 · 08-31-2013, 09:38 PM

That glove box turned out great! A lot of prep and work to accomplish something most people wouldn't think of. Certainly will be more durable than the factory version.

Grizz1963 · 09-01-2013, 11:53 AM

Just spent a couple of hours scrubbing roof, sealing it with Auto Glym roof stuff.
Then washed the car and dried it, as roof stuff is diabolical on paint and glass.
Got to give it 24 hrs to dry propperly now.
Still need to dismantle drivers door to figure why window went doen and now refuses to return, I suspect a micro switch.

I am sorry I never copied the template as it can be folded from one piece and is a direct fit.

That is pretty cool glovebox you made!
I almost did that very same thing, but while making an order through Brothers parts, I added a repop to the list and never got around to fabbing up one of my own.

Nicely done !!

Hi Mike, good to see you back from your holidaze......

Thanks for the comments.

I really enjoyed making it and the final result had me laughing like a mad man.

Ta2Don · 09-03-2013, 04:38 PM

Rian, it was great talking to you earlier...

Here's a pic of the stickers...

and, here's my Favorite Pipe, a Nording Fantasy #5 from Denmark...

Cheers...

Good to talk to you on the train, and then again at home.

Nice to go out on Searcy High street and see your town on Video chat.

As mentioned, I will try to get you and Mike McMurphy those Ace Cafe stickers as soon as I go by there again.

I will see if they have the inside the window type in stock, as they age much better than external ones.

Nicola is very impressed with your pipe.

Ta2Don · 09-03-2013, 05:21 PM

Here's a couple more for ya...

Me and the Nording...

My buddy Josh, up in Chicago with Erik Nording from 2011

Cheers...

Booked for 10.30 this morning. 05.50 here now.
Woke at 05.00 with BBQ mouth, needing a drink so went downstairs to make a mug of tea, then ended up sorting out the MX5's history file and totalled up the spend so far........ OOOOOOPPPS!!!!!
Purchase price £750.00
Further spend £1382.00
(this is pretty much penny spent to date, should it pass MOT today and including road Tax at £255/year)
I have now over spent significantly on this car and will NEVER recover it all, so she better drive the wheels off it and enjoy every moment.
