Anyone used any panel and paint shops for a complete glass out panel off respray they have had a good experience with? 

AFM Enterprises have been highly recommended to me, but they're VERY expensive.

Yep that burns

So 24hours after fitting splits in my Ute, had a phone call and the ringtone blew one of the crossovers.

Always something to fix [emoji107]
Achy breaky heart at 250w.? No wonder it split [emoji174]
does this mean you dont want to come pull the dash out of the focus for me?
Saturday morning, about 1 hour after fitting 4 brand new tyres, the fkn heater core shat and spewed hot water all over my feet [emoji20] 8 years and almost 100 000km and NOW it finally breaks something....
Looks likes sneakers or boots all round for Sau safety. I thought ethylene glycol was good for bunions and fungus? 4 x brand new 19x245x35s on the xr8. It's a entire car key inside the tyre/rim. So 5 x new tyres. Ffs.DSC_0199_4(1)(1).JPG

Oh, and @z00keyuses In-Style Collision, they've done really good work with his car.

Would cost a lifetime of reacharounds.

Was virtually a full day to do my Ute and had a few gremlins that appeared in the following days and required more work

So thanks but no thanks

lo I fkn here ya. Got it bypassed for now, but I have to pay someone to fix it, so if you are looking for a cashie for a weekend, let me know.

Things is, I am still not convinced its the heater. A couple of days after changing the coolant, the o-ring on the petcock shat on the radiator dump, and this makes me suspect the o-rings in the heater line even more.

 

fkn cars.

O-rings you say?

Which ones?
I thought it was a good electrical joke? Might be time to bow out gracefully?


My latest multi meter was run over by a Ute months back and is now starting to tell lies. Might order a newbie tomorrow

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
