Neil's FB Station Wagon

[FireKraka]

Two steps forward one step back
Was going over the hr control areas and found one of the pivot holes flogged out f#@k
Does anybody have a lower drivers side HR control arm or is there a way that it can be repaired

[Blacky]

Hey Hughesy, I dunno whats going on here I have replied to this twice on my phone and its not showing up - I might have one here but I broke my knee on Saturday so I cant get up the back to have a look

Thanks Blacky, Gazza has put me onto someone as well, I still have to come up and see about the front guard section that I need so will come and catch up when we get back in August.

Put the crossmember in, the top control arms and the passenger side lower.
That's all for now, back to it in a months time

Putting my new wheels in the shed on Saturday night - I was carrying the first one and tripped arse over head because I couldn’t see some shit on the floor - went down hard, smashed my jaw on the tyre when it hit the ground, jarred me thumb because it was still through the centre bore of the rim, hyperextended my left shoulder and bruised the collarbone and broke my knee into 4 bits when it hit the concrete

Ouch . Sounds like it was a bit hit to the floor. Best take it easy so you can get back on the road. Gather your off work for a bit too.

That's bad news. Speedy recovery Blacky.

Good stuff Neil. Sounds like you’re flying off to remote site for a stint. Hurry up. You’ve got 10 1/2 months to get it ready mate!

Blacky, oh $*#@ mate! Us over 60s got to tread carefully. We don’t get up so quick these days when we go down. Sounds like you really did a number on yourself, or are you just cutting out your sickies before retirement? So many people I know our age have done ankles and knees recently, self included. You’re going to have to have your leg up for some time I am afraid. Heal up quickly mate.

A month away from working on a car, Neil what are you thinking ?? Good progress as usual, it really helps to understand what is needed after build 1 and 2 and 3, you just get to know all the intricacis.

Blacky looking at the melon hanging out of the brace its gunna hurt for a long time. Apologies for the downer but my knees are sore all the time and don't seem to be improving as the decrepitness creeps in, hopefully you'll be right mate !

Hey guys Robyn and I are off to the UK and Ireland so no shitty site to have to do work
I will get withdrawal symptoms from being away from the Reverend but got to do what the Boss says

Greg if it gets easier after 1, 2 and 3 maybe I need a 4th

Clay I spoke to Keith my painting guru and told him nationals next year lets see how we go

[FireKraka]

Maybe I shouldn't have sold my rotis
