Hi all. Just checking in. One hell of a night shift, just cleared out my workshop for household rubbish collection, no food since yesterday sometime and no sleep.

Getting slightly edgy.

Oh, did I mention no Skyline to take on a relaxing Sunday drive, because my alarm is playing up, and I can't drive it until the entire system is ripped out and replaced?

The Hilux is just not the same, so I am here deep relaxing breathing...

Yes, false alarm last night. The noise was my incredible neighbour who came over to see if I was OK. He checked out the entire yard, and stayed until my husband got home.

And then stayed for a couple of hours to dismantle alarm.

At the time I didn't know it was him, just heard noises. Only found out it was him when my husband came to the door with him.

At one point a police car came down the street at high speed with sirens going. I thought Yay, I'm saved! but they didn't stop, even when they must have seen my alarm going off. A few minutes later the police helicopter came over.

My neighbour also told us that the night before someone had disconnected their power in their meter box, so now I am a little worried.

But after all of that my baby is safe, and nothing on earth could start her now, so a thief wouldn't have a chance if they came tonight.

Note to myself, try not to be so cowardly when someone is messing with my baby!

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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!
