Evening all!
Well I'm shattered and my mullered knees are now aching but managed to get a lot done on the truck today...
Fixed a brake fluid leak, replaced the rear prop as the uj had seized and welded itself to the flange, all new wheel bearings all round, new discs and pads all round - just in time I think too, whilst 'persuading' the old front discs to let go of the hubs gave them a little tap with a hammer and the disc split away from the centre!
on both sides!! Glad I didn't hit the brakes hard! I'd hate to think the outcome if that happened on the truck uke:
Shiney shiney...
Managed to get a shed load of much overdue welding done too, re-attached a rear body mount, patched up both rear inner arches, outer rear sections of the rear of the sills, couple of patches on the outer edge of the sills, rear a-frame cross member, passenger side front foot well, passenger side front of sill.... pheew! That'll do for one day
A few little pickies for ya....
Went mad with the underseal on an airline too.... man I love that stuff!!
Only a minor incident to report... there may have been a small fire lol more smoke than flames tho
Now its just a few holes in the drivers side and the front inner wings and headlight bowls :doh: Shurly there's noo more!!!!
