Yes my right lower strut is very painfull at the moment, i think anyone who has worked hard when young suffers the same fate, especially tradesman.

Im a sparky by trade and have done thousands of ladder climbs not to mention roof space work, ive been out of it for 15 years but its now that all the issues are are showing up !!!

Blacky once that new ball joint goes in you will be good for another 100K !!!!!

Been fairly kind to my undercarriage over the years. Surveyors tended to wear out hips due to all the walking but fortunately for me they invented the landcruiser. My paint hasn’t fared as well and I’m undergoing a touch up currently. Cut out a bit of rust Wednesday arvo, with a graft welded in. Let’s hope it takes and they got all the rust. Can’t use my arm for two weeks while the paint cures….

Roof has been planished up and blasted - just need to fettle the screen to size and then button it all up. Tomorrow is the day for the sanding experiment- stay tuned viewers

Now that the screen is cut the roof skin can be welded back on in the right spot so a standard screen can be cut down to fit. Image
