Hey Dave,,, im with Craig. Im quite happy to cruize behind you as well. My truck aint no rocket either. ;D :D ;D

Oh yes Show off ..Mr 350 chev... ;D :D ;D :D ;D

It was just pointed out that May 1 is May Day, a big day in the expat finnish calendar, and I have never been able to drive as early as 10am on the 2nd May before. I will give it my best shot but I am only a 60/40 chance.
With Griff, John and Craig attending I will push my very poor willpower, but salmiak flavoured vodka takes no prisoners.

God DAMN that vodka sounds just Nasty :-\ :-\ :o
-
Whilst checking out the picnic spot at Serpentine Dam ,these 2 ruffians came over to hassle me. Apparently their names were Craig and Griff and they are known to police in the area. ;D :D ;D :D

I can't commit to coming yet, its too far away, and i know there are plenty of birthdays around april/may/june.. i'll try and put a few hours aside for a cruise tho. I'm keen to get the bedford in convoy.
Drivers door is ALMOST finished.. another coat of undercoat, then rub it back, then paint white and mount it.. then just need the bubble windows back and a tank of fuel ;D
-
:-\ not sure if I'm gunna make this one....my drivers door done, finally started pass door, but twice as bad ..... i have cut rust and already fitted new panels, just need to fold outta skin over inner skin and then begin rub back and prep... :'( . then paint, don't know if I'll make it to this run as work want's a trim display at the autokana show, I think it's called.... one way to get me name out there + cards for my own business..... muhahaha muhaha

Well that bloke on the left is already surrendering to the cops..What a big scaredy cat!!! ;D
-
its only a halfhearted surrender but . . only got one arm up ::) or is that ben ??? ??? ;D
-
I think the other arm might be pinching Craigs arse!!! :o :o
-
My van let me down the other night, no headlights no taillights no brake lights and an intermittent stereo.
I had to leave it on the side of the road and drive it home when it got light, still if it only lets me down every few years with the amount of effort Ive put in I am happy
Does anyone in Perth know a good auto electrician pref Ossy Pk type of area, I have less than 2 weeks to fix the problem or I be making the trip.
Dave
-
im guessing you've checked all the fuses and globes and still have the dramas..
I know a great auto leccy, but he's shut up shop, and im not sure if he's doing house calls to the general public. I can find out tho.
In the meantime, call around and try to find an old bloke that knows his stuff, as they'll usually give the best service and price.

Matte
It is not the globes as all lights have gone off brake, tail & headlights.
It isnt the fuses because Ive checked them and because they shouldnt all be on the same fuse.
The radio was cutting in and out so I reckon water has got in somewhere and has shorted something out in the wiring.
The wiring is half home handyman and also a fair bit has been replaced by someone else and the rest is standard. I know the home handyman really well, and can vouch for the fact he isnt very handy. So I would bet on the wiring.
I would have a go at causing more wiring issues myself but with only a few days to the 2nd May, I will never get there in time.
I am working late weekdays and am going away on weekends so I am about stuffed. I might use yellow pages and resign myself to paying too much.
At least the problem isnt intermittent, it is well and truly stuffed.
In saying all that I checked the wiring at night and with no lights in the van, by the light from my mobile phone, so it may be something easy I missed
cheers

ring merlin it took him a day to do what the rac couldnt do in two weeks on griffs electrics.
-
Thats a good idea Craig. That Neil is a clever bugger for sure. ;)
-
so its come around quick whos going?
-
hay dave, its not all running off of a faulty common earth is it? just a thought if its all "The wiring is half home handyman"
-
Yep... count me and my old dad in. ;D
-
Im coming !...Im coming !...I JUST NEED A CIRCLE LATCH for inside drivers door. Also can anyone recommend a good brake service and V8 tune service in Midland/Hills area QUICKLY. Need to get done this week !! ( before van run) Thanks Heaps Everyone. Cale
-

-
educated guess??. . . like a latch off an aircraft dunny door? ??? thats in a circle kind of arrangment. . ja??
-
im guessing the circular rotating part of the door latch..
I'll attempt to make some time to go on the cruise if everything pans out as planned
-
make sure u take lots of photos and preferably video camera so u can show us buggas
-
if its the front door circle latch i was able to rebiuld mine with welding and grinding.
re van run; If it's the 2nd im out , as i have to work at the car show this w/end + Borrie not quite together yet....buga
-
I took my van for her maiden voyage today.. well about 4 of them ;)
everythings sweet..
a few more things to finish, but all is looking good
-
not long to go ....
-
Polished my mags today for tomorrows run ;D ;D can't wait......
-
at this stage i'll be coming, but the 10am meeting south of the river may mean im a little late.. we'll see how early i can wake up and how bad traffic is.. are you lot planning to hang around at the shops for long? i shouldn't be too late..
Anyway, if you post the cruise route then i'll be able to catch up no doubt. Unfortunately i can't hang out at the destination for ages as we have to be places in the arvo, but we'll have an hour or two to relax :)
See some of you soon...
-

Sorry guys didnt get it going in time, even my battery is flat now, so I cant even start her, Bugga. it is sods law it has had no problems for a year or so and it packs up now, still better now than half way to jarradale. You got great weather for the run in any case

Mate, you're always welcome to grab a ride with me if your van ain't up to it!
-
Thanks Griff I should have. My van is still off the road, I am about to give in and let someone who knows what they are doing take a look. One more try on the weekend maybe.
Dave

Any pic's guy's? I may not be able to attend but seeing some pic's is a close second. I'm organising the disabled taxi to take me to the Hot Rod show at Burswood on Sat morning the 28th so if you see a big fella in a black electric wheel chair with chrome flames on it wearing a FOOSE cap, that's me so say G'Day
