umm would have made a flaming good story, albeit with sad ending.

What have I been doing this week, well picked up some bit and bobs in Auckland, sorting out some fiberglass stuff.
Heading down to hamilton to pick up some CF1 flair moulds and making a couple of tings while im there.

Called to see Dave aka Busy today and he has been but il leave that to him to tell, i just wanted to look at his steering colum and universal set up.

Havent done any work on the beddie cause it up north and im down here, but im planning and sceaming and researching so does that count...

Rusty means I'd been down Hamilton.

I've managed to do a little on the flares, was hoping of finishing the inside (mtr area) but discovered my trans had a stuffed oil drive so have sent that away and can't do that section till i get the trans back. am on the home stretch thou - kinda
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

I'm getting the campers carby rebuilt, so later this week it should be running. ???

Tow van - We found the piece that the magic blue smoke came out of - will have to replace it  :o  realised just what a bodj job the wiring is, wires all over the place, four connected to the front right indicator - one of those was the horn button - no wonder every time Eddy played with his horn he blew a fuse  ;D

Back on track. isolated the horn wire, fixed the indicators, and wrote a "2Do" list.

Oh and I think I caught a cold - you swine Eddy ::)

hey Warren bro, again THANKS HEAPS for your help and knowledge, went searching at the Dandenong wreckers today and managed to score a top ball joint, used of course but should pass RWC, another bush for the torsion bar, a H4 lens, and a reverse switch for the 4 speed, not cheap but in desperate need of, also spoke to an auto elec who said that the ballast resister is not needed as the van has that resister thingy ma jingy in the main line near the light relays, forgot to take the damn ballast resister with me to work today so will show the auto elec tommorrow, funny thing about my horn .. I did enjoy so much pushing it when I was young buck and I remember the first time it blew a fuse it gave me the shock of my life !!!!  ;D I do have to get it fixed because it wouldn't be right for the misuss to be driving without a proper working horn ;)

dunno still think its gunna be a tight schedule, rang Vic Roads today to see when I can get the van registered but apparently theres a long wait. Rang the RWC guy and will try to get it to him this weekend or possibly Friday arvo .... fingers crossed, oh been out inthe garage tonite and its persisting down,  drats !!!  so couldn't do the brakes .... oh well thems the breaks

Ed
ekm ...... never lead with your chin, let others lead with theirs
