The water looks fantastic.

That's just NASCO rustproofing. Works in tandem with the sump oil from the walking stick, the gear oil from the gearbox selectors and any grease thrown by the uni grease nipples.

Adjusted the brakes. The pedal came right up and now firm. Bleeding deemed unnecessary now master cylinder is operating in its correct range.

Reset front toe to 3/16".

Blacky I’ve been going there over 40 years and only just managed to crack on to this shack. Real estate was going nuts here. I wouldn’t bother mate.

Bit of tidy up painting today between mowing and wipper snippering. Some how missed a section of bonnet edge as well as part of the tailgate hinges. Tray opening got scratched when I was fitting the ply floor so painted it and inner tailgate. Fair bit of masking necessary to avoid overspray.ImageImageImage

Im very happy with the tonneau cover I got from Tonnos 'n' Stuff. Thanks to Neil for the tip. After fitting the tabs I had to adjust six of the 17 floor optimal fit. I found they could be moved one way or another up to 8mm from first location. Now it has been on for a week it has settled to a perfect fit.ImageImage
