Already posted in the Wanted To Borrow Thread,

But does anyone have access to a car trailer that I could borrow on Saturday for the price of a carton?

I'm located up north east, and would need the trailer 3pm-4pm.

Not sure a hire trailer from the servo is worth $69 for one hour's of usage.

cheer, Nigel

an abundance jake? really? come on.

No: It's too dangerous

* Dr Helen Caldicott, anti-nuclear activist: “We spend millions of dollars trying to find a cure for cancer, [yet] here’s an industry that will directly propagate that hideous disease. Nuclear power is medically contraindicated.”

ok, cool. so its okay to use readioactive therapy for treating cancer, and xrays are cool, but its not okay to have 3rd and 4th gen nuclear reactors in the middle of butt f**k egypt powering the hospitals with the waste stored even further away than butt f**k egypt?

... okay...?

funnily enough, the nuclear power debate is one that comes up rather frequently at work (we have a fair bit of free time), and the 3 most popular reasons used for the 'no' argument are nuclear proliferation (even though half the people that use this argument dont actually know what it means).

terrorism, which is a pretty slim chance sorta thing considering nuclear reactors around the world have about as much security as your average nuclear weapons storage/production/destruction facility.

(if anyones ever seen 'worlds biggest fixes on discovery, this covered briefly during an episode where theyre repairing a nuclear reactor turbine, probably ex military security wearing military grade armour and carrying m4 carbines in every room of the facility, on top of numerous 'unfakable' security check points).

and finally, nuclear waste storage, some people simply cannot seem to fathom how little room nuclear waste takes up, especially in a country like australia, where such a huge percentage of the continent is suitable (and suitably distant from population centres) for the storage of depleted nuclear materials, and that the vessels used to transport and store said spent fuel have been constantly improved and tweaked since before nuclear power was even an idea.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
