Gimme 5 years
Re: Gimme 5 years
I just drank a beer or 2 and watched a windscreen bloke put mine in 

I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Re: Gimme 5 years
yeah, this year I've had someone over to do the 'new style' windscreens on the Forester and Sprinter...and I left them to it
...but a while back I had a windscreen guy over for the Kombi Ute and then he needed me to thump the glass for him - so I thought I may as well just do this style myself

Re: Gimme 5 years
just a bit of tinkering on the EK - put on the door rubbers, visors and mirror
also spent some time on other cars --- feels like time to hit the road in the Sprinter for a bit

Beer o'clock at Burrinjuck Dam
Re: Gimme 5 years
Its been nearly 40 years since I was at Burrunjuck, back when Dad drove a HK Prem. Looks like the locals are still friendly though.

Re: Gimme 5 years
picked up some cheap seat covers
Re: Gimme 5 years
Dunno about the other two, but I've worked with the red one in the middle before. He is sketchy. Count your tools before he goes home.

Re: Gimme 5 years
Seat cover looks good Patrick. Should hold you on the racing turns.

Settling in on this for the summer I think. The more I look at it the more I think it used to be loaded up by throwing stuff in (and at) it from a distance. I admire people who can get show quality out of them. I don't like big dents but I don't mind a bit of a wave

Great work Patrick looking good, you would be surprised how good you can get those wheel arches from underneath with a rounded nylon mallet!!

Re: Gimme 5 years
I'll probably keep going with the bodywork before I start on the suspension and such; but the ute is sitting on the front bump stops ... so when I saw a company on gumtree selling new springs for a hungie a pair, I picked up these standard height ones
Re: Gimme 5 years
storm today ... good day to say I don't want the tarp on the ute anymore ... still have the old doors on so I put a bit of tape here and there ... more interested to see how the front and rear screens go ... ran out for a look when there was a bit of a break ... so far so good
