Morning mangs,

S2 and that would be grand

Bummer, that means I need to figure out what wire it is :(

Shouldn't be too hard though.

bludging net access off mcd wifi.

Good form

martin, should have a number for you today. hoping to get the 31 on a hoist today at some point as well.

Thanks!

Another glorious morning

Sh*t weather is sh*t.

Boz, you getting the 34 back this week?

+1

Sorry guys. Me having so much free(ish) time is what's causing all this weather, obviously. I mean all the bad weather started about an hour after i finished the work i was doing on the holidays.

This day just won't end.....

Tempted to schedule in a phantom meeting for the afternoon and knock off early.

Does anybody know where I can call for some light guard flaring?

Not game to do it myself. My rolling job was a bit agricultural so not game to do much else.

Sexy Dave rolls guards for beer.

If the flare you need is just pulling it out with the guard roller then he can probably do that for you too. How effective it is will depend on a number of factors though. If you've already munted the guards with a dodgy rolling job it won't help.

Spoke to smash repair guys late last week and I should be picking her up late tomorrow or early Thursday :)

Here's hoping that holds true! And also hoping they kept at least two degrees of camber on the wheels as I requested. Want it closer to three but that may be a bit of overkill.

Hey Guys.

Here's hoping you get your car before the weekend Boz.

As for guard rolling, take a look at what I've been doing. Fitting the Telstar around some 18 x 9.5 +25's. I cut the outer skins and have pulled them from the inners. The door sills needs a major tidy up, but have got a set of hammers and dollies. Will be welding up the rest this weekend. I'll be doing the same with the door skins. The skins have been pulled by about 1".

Before.

Still to work on the door and to tidy up the front guard. The pic of the pulled rear guard makes it look like there is big dent in the flare bit, but it's acutally black paint.

seems weather has something to do with it.

spent most of today under a mack truck and under a 4wd and under a white 2 door thing.(31)

there is a about half a page of changes I need to make to it for it to be 110% legal. until such time it will have instant rego whilst I move it around place to place.

seems this car is similar to the 32. the chassis rails are just as easy to bend. found where it had been jacked wrong and thats one of the points on the RWC paper. thats easily fixed - panel guy can sort it.

joys of old cars :)

Love the rims Scott.

I don't even remotely have the right tools to attempt something like that.

I might give the guy from precision rolling a call and see what he says.

Otherwise may wait a while and go see camerons body works

Why must people camp in the right hand lane doing ten ks under the limit, next to the only other car on the road?

shit blokes.

I loved driving in Europe. The instant someone did that they would have an angry Italian man in a fiat punto two inches from their back bumper, using the horn to morse code M.O.V.E O.V.E.R F.U.C.K.E.R whilst texting his cousin to buy more kappa track suits to wear with his socks and sandals.

looks like raining most of the week too Chris :(

Can't seem to find an S2 wiring diagram Bodo, will have to wing it

all good, im sure we can sort it out, thanks for looking :woot: ....and yes this weather is balls....soo sick of it. i dont think ive had a complete fortnight of work all year yet :(

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
