I'll confirm today if I can get the car over to you james this afternoon if that is ok. Then if possible could we get the flares on during next week as we are both away this weekend

hehe that's not very nice antt.
Remember he has another 4wd!

This thread is useless without pic's....the essential saying for all build up threads.

Now grimbo at this stage of the build up you should describe that amount of work you need to do and give a time line of how long it will take.

And then argue with himself about how he doesn't need a SPOA to fit those tyres just a 2inch BL & 2 inch spring lift.

you can all go and get stuffed. I'm going to another forum and bitch and moan about you all :finger: :D

You'll see, you'll all see it will be cool. I'll have more bling than Damo, more sand in the diff than love-mud, more problems than big steve, more chance of getting it working than Antt, a longer wheelbase than Sam :lol:

Or another 6 months gathering dust

Ok Grimbo,

Don't feel bad, my list of things to do are as follows,
* tidy wiring & get lights working
* wire up thermo
* cut gaurds & fit flares (after I buy them first)
* toss on paint (fiat tractor orange..... mmmm)
* change to w/tracks and get brakes working
* get regoed.

I'll fess up I'm very slow due to other commitments, can't see my list being done(mainly the rego bit) by christmas due to bills. Having said that, took the peice of crap for a short drive last weekend (at parents farm...), inspiration is up, will work on it again this weekend.

C'mon, you know ya wanna play zook........

Whether it drives was never the issue, it was the lack of it being driven by grimbo

It's a step in the right direction, it is more movement than its done in quite awhile. :oops:

Will take pics next week when the grinder and welder are out :twisted:

I'm trying to sort what night I have fee this week and what night james has, I reckon Saturday might be easier if that is cool.

I'll have a new battery by then (warranty replacement) ad should have my tyres not the borrowed ones on it
