Deere-est Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Getting popular all over now, Sean. It's a weight saving concept but quite often they are set behind some side skirts so as to give the look of a smooth 4x2 rather that a cluttered 6x2. Popular on bulkers and tankers and bulk powder tankers. I'll be fitting side skirts to this, either modify the originals or make some. Not one I drive, Paul or ever have but just something I fancied doing to be a bit different. Joe, what finish does it leave, just the original black plastic?

Deere-est Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Cutting oak today, boy was that a long job. Much of it was single split so filling the trailer was an arduous task! Took me ten hours in a 12hr day. A steak and a cider sorted out the energy levels though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexMF Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) yesterday was worryingly busy for me...the lazy student. passed 3 stages of on line tests which hopefully will get me to interview stage for a job. after the tests, went to a tesco express car park in melton mowbray to re-gap the points on a friends mini. friend had to abandon it there and walk to work. seeing me dismantle the car (grill off, plugs out, dizzy cap and leads off) in their car park some well meaning employee phoned for the police. awkward conversation ensued, and i re-gapped the points. went on a road test, made it as far as the speed camera on double yellow lines on the main road in melton, broke down, caused huge traffic jam (was farmers market day, oops) thought "oh i must have left the bolt securing the points in a bit loose" re-gapped the points again, wound the bolt in, then set off to the tesco superstore down the road (I needed the loo and a spot of lunch) broke down outside, pushed the car into a spot. dismantled the distributor, found a loose wire on the condensor and that the points had mostly been on fire. walked to the auto-spares place bought new points and condenser walked back. fixed mini. then continued epic 2 evening battle to change a clutch on a corsa, vauxhall really don't want you DIYing. should be able to finish it this evening. got home and slammed my thumb in the car door.
