Picked up my new leads and was ready to go out to the mancave but the rain and hail started and now I'm mopping up all the new water features we have running down the insides of our walls ;(
Hopefully get back out tomorrow as the thunder is getting louder and the sound of rain in the garage is deafening on a tin roof.

Not sure if it will be going but will work towards it regardless.

I got a few goodies I need to get rid of.

Thu Oct 27, 2011 12:10 am

pm me a list vlad and i can tell you what we may need mate

got a bumper and a tow hitch today from the fastie we are stripping

my old bumper had been hit real bad and had dents all over it, the fasties one looked clean then i noticed it had a tow hitch aswell, even better

got it cleaned up and mounted today

Thu Oct 27, 2011 12:14 am

looks so different now that there is no more dents and you can see my full reg plate

did not mount the rear spottie as did not want to drill this bumper as its pretty much in perfect condition, ill give is a good polish on the weekend after doing some paint touch ups

any you other lads been getting busy on your cars?

Thu Oct 27, 2011 12:44 am

As busy as it gets waiting for people to reply :roll: some times takes months for people to get back to you on part enquirers/purchases.

In the mean time I am getting ready for a massive built, no not a vw or even a car for the matter of fact.

Doing a big Vlad's work shop build and laying the foundations for my notch restro. slowly getting the shed ready for a 18 x 10m slab of concrete. F**kin 31 years with dirt floor, I had enough. :lol:

Bought my first lot of tools 2 days ago, should be here soon. These basics should get me going instead of driving 400m to my half bro's house to use his 2 massive sheds and 50 sets of sidchrome tools all the time :lol:

don't go driving on a permit on sunday ,permits are only for to and from place of repair (rwc only)
on sundays it's like not having one at all.
