Spanner day Sunday 27/02/2022

Post by Blacky »

Well we had a great weekend in the shed , got started early on Saturday by yanking the motor out of Drews van and welding the saddles on Micks diff


Then Sunday we put the new diff in Micks car, did a steering column repair to John's FB , fossicked through EKMart for some bits for Mick Slater and Gazza and talked a lot of shite for the bulk of the day , had a good turnout of people and cars , unfortunately my phone died Saturday morning so no pics - Gaz may have some and I will try to get a couple that ended up on Bookface over here when my phone comes back from phone hospital.
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Sounds like a great weekend mate with plenty of jobs ticked off. Unfortunately I missed it due to work. A pleasant 46deg today.

Looks like a busy day indeed Blacky!

Not many workers but plenty of observers offering advice wearing thongs, holding a beer and chomping on a snag! 👍
