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

You damaged a strut, how ?

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

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

Ah yes mate. Robyn is chasing her passion and you get to carry the bags. Seems like half the national heads over there this time of year. I hope to be not far behind you mate.

Damn, that sounds like the outcome of a Mexican wrestling match . Hope you heal up soon mate. Too cold to be wearing shorts.
