Got a look and a couple of slow laps around sutton hillclimb track today

One blind corner will have to get used to it.

Working bee day, so i dug some holes for em, then filled em up again. :D

Track day next sunday. :banana:

Fkn allclassifieds is the worst.

3 kents already trying to scam me

Ihope they read my replies

Had the same when I was selling my Bluebird, 2 Emails from 2 different people with the exact same wording other than name and price offered.

(offering more than I was asking) :wacko:

  • No one is buying a car from a rig in the gulf or serving on a ship and getting there friend/father or transport company to pick it up.

Never meet in a car park to sell your car. (peeps have been bashed)

Taking the keys of their car while they test drive yours - ah agh! ......The keys may belong to another stolen car - lol. (Check License + Rego papers - compare)

Avoid PayPal - always CA$H

walk away from higher offers and obvious poor engrish emails

@gmail addresses - be very wary

allclassifieds has been infiltrated for a year or two now

never publish email, phone number or addy (use the sale sites challenge capability)

Ha ha that reminds me of when i got the volvo

there was the most obvious scams out there, like a new audi 4wd with about 20,000k for $5000

Apparently he was in france at the time blah blah bullsht...... yeah right.

best way is go to there house with a picky mate (good cop bad cop thing) then think about it for a week.

A woman accidentally'd right into my car on friday =\

Now i have to find somewhere to fix it.

Looks pretty neat with some cable ties holding everything together.

Not so pretty behind the bar =\

My Beloved Bluebird was never quite the same after some Silly Old Bat reversed into the rear bar at Jammo. :(

I got other things done and dings fixed while the car was at the Panel Beaters so it was improved but the rear bar Never sat right again.

(Replacement bar and Brackets etc)

Took about 3 visits (inconvenience +++) to get it to a stage where both myself and the Boss at the beaters were relatively satisfied.

I still miss my Blueby.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
