My truck will kept inside once it is built. I hopefully will be able to sell the two cars that are currently sitting there at the moment, thus giving me a bit more room! johnno ;D

Hey Jock, make sure you check all clearances again on the way out as the angles all change depending on which way you are going. Up, down, forwards and backwards. Making it down into the underground basement is one thing. Getting out is another! ;)

Tweaker,

I was thinking that but once I was in I had no option, when I exited for the first time it took me ages...
I was creeping along then stopping to check, creep, check, creep, check - took forever!

Thank god it fit going in and going out - stoked! Good to hear you got your box. Sorry I couldn't take you
out there mate I thought you would be knackered after driving all night. At least you got it and got back in
one piece. Keep us updated with your beddy progress in the new year!

sure tweaker... no worries.... even locks n has has a key



You're a bloody champ Marky! I'm driving home today, so I'll give you a call in the next day or so. What you up to NYE? When you leave for Piller?

Jock you're a champ also! Would love to have caught up with and met you and gone for a run in 'Old Barry' ;) My plan was to try and catch up with you on the way out, since I missed you on the way in, but Zeb (my son) left one of his pressies at my aunts, so I'm heading out via Epping. Next time maybe, and hopefully we will be in the big Pink Burble of lurve. 8)

I put up a post in the power steering thread. It is something i checked out whiledown here.

Peace yall, word! ;D

Not much since I hurt my back but came up with a good idea yesterday of how to possibly make it easy for the van to roll in and out of my shed, with treated pine sleepers to roll on and go down to a tire place and get the lowest profile tires I can so it won't clip the roof.

Might have a New years res of actually making progress.

Doof,

LOL :) I would love to see your van sitting pretty on nothing but rims!
Only Ben would consider such a thing!

Hey doof, how about setting the treated pine up like train tracks , and using just rims, you dont have to streer it out and if you level the tracks out it should push easily.

And you will be able to boast that she handles like shes on rails :D

I used to be vague..................Now I'm not so sure

I actually suggested this to a mate, a littlle to much effort.

Ben I know the bloke at the tyre place pretty well so I think I should be able to get him to swap my high profile tyres for some dodgey bald low ones for little to no money.

Worst thing is it took me this long to come up with a solution of how to have the room to work on it and now i'm so sore I can't act on it.
