What a productive day :)

Post by chrispy »

What a top day! Started out just trying to get time to install the snorkel I took off the petrol Patrol and put it on the t/diesel. It went so well (even without a template - just lots of measuring and two balls in my throat) that I got time to install the new Milford barrier as well. Neat as a button and finished by 3:00pm. Not a bad day's work. Time for a beer! :)

LOL.... I went down to a Nissan dealer yesterday to get some of those 45-deg twist clips for the front grille. I was paying the bloke and thought to myself.... "there was something else I needed while I was here.....HMmmmmmm"

Dang!

Micky - it's just a plain old nibbler. You can get one like this for $14.00 at Dick Smith Electronics - or anywhere good games are sold :)

Cheers mate - I'll chase some up.

Does the whole vehicle give you that "Toyota Feeling" after the installation?

All I know is without any bonnet rubber for the past year.... The thing rattles around a lot and is quite good for scaring passengers... :lol:

I just got some from Nissan, $14 each, bit of a rip off, but I couldnt be bothered making something up when they bolt straight in and look fine. They stopped my bonnet rattling around :)

Might just have to go and get some tomorrow then. My bonnet nearly popped on the freeway at 110kmh this morning - and flew up and down so wildly I thought she might just lift all the way..... :(
