a idea would be for owners to form work groups (your area) for help & repairs hands on. example would be say service so when cars due you get together & do together (great way to find little things wrong & gain info first hand)

you may already do this, it's just a thought.

I think this is an excellent idea.

Some of you may have warranties that require certain service people to do the work, but for those of us who dont doing group services would be a good way of saving money, learning a hell of alot and having the bonus of pulling the scene closer together.

If ppl do this already does anyone mind if i join in, and if not anyone want to start, hell i'd even volunteer my place... got 5 acres so theres lot of room to mark cars and work.

Well really it should just be a matter of seeing how many ppl would come on a particular day, buying a pile of stuff in bulk (oils sparkies etc etc) then splitting the cost between the numbers.

With a good quote and a rough idea of how many people are interested seeing if its feasable should be pretty straight forward.

Hmm... what would u call it tho? "Group Service"?? hmm.... might whack a note on the NSW section... if i'm lucky it might get stickied.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
