I was a bit uncertain about the Wine Red colour, but after a while it grew on me.

It's just been washed and waxed and it's looking pretty shiny, only depressing thing is the nice long key scratch along the driver's door that some inconsiderate person done a week ago :O

I'll get it into XCM (Xclusive Colours Modifications) and have the door resprayed in the next few weeks.

Once that is out of the way it will be into Seven Hills Detailing Centre for a full inside and out detail.

[[d a n n y]] - are you located in Sydney or the surrounding area? If so you'll have to come to the Thursday night cruise so we can check it out :D

If anyone know's of a highly recommended Auto Upholstery let me know, I want to get the M35 interior straightened out and in a few minor things glued in place etc.

That's pretty local to both Stephen (Bis-e Bee) and I, Danny, so we should meet up for that Thursday night cruise and head up together...

Stephen, I've got a friend of a friend who I'm going to go and see soon to get some interior work done on my car - he doesn't have a business or work for anyone at the moment, but he takes pride in his work so I'll ask him if I can pass his details on to you. He's local too, which helps! I've already spoken to him a few times, it's just a matter of getting the time to go and actually consult with him to see what he can offer...

Understood Danny, I had mine out on a cruise first day I got it lolz.

You are more than welcome to join us whenever you feel like it, there is always a few Stagea's.

Spotted Nick in the Jolly Green Giant :( and Ian in the pocket sized Fiat.

Probably could have saved some fuel and parked the Fiat in the back of Nick's stag, that's car pooling for ya!

Seen a Red S1 yesterday turning down the old coast road, had "staged" on the number plate.

Then seen a white one heading down south towards busso.

2 stags in 2days pretty rare for the bogan town i live in.

Spotted a darkish Silver WC34 at 6.30pm this evening at the intersection of Vardy's & Sunnyholt Roads, Blacktown (Kings Park).

Didn't get a good view of the front end so I'm not sure if it was an S1 or S2, but it looked pretty neat and tidy...... so did the female occupants :cool:

... hopefully they are not on this forum lol

    • 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.
