If this was Smokey and the Bandit, it would need a Screaming Chicken on the bonnet. Given it's more an FB than a Firebird, we might have to settle for a Screaming Bonnet Budgie.

Cheers,

Bit more done last night , resealed the gearbox and painted it up ready for reinstalling today - BIG difference between Rare Spares grey motor grey and the old PowerPlus PP427 grey motor grey-

While I had it apart I noticed this bit here had a heap of movement in it so cleaned it up and zapped it up with the welder

Kicked on - was hoping to get the bulk of it done tonight and get it back on the ground, got the engine mounts all done , linkages in and rebushed the bottom of the column , a job that would have been a HELL of a lot easier while the engine was out ImageImage , tailshaft and handbrake all sorted, clutch slave etc , polished the rocker cover and fitted it so I could fill it with oil then got the oil pump primer out and gave it a spin to see if I had oil pressure and that’s when it all went to shit ImageImageImage
Spun the pump for 15 or so seconds and it siezed solid 🤬🤬] hoping it’s some kind of weird hydraulic lock or something- have given up for the night and will find out tomorrow if it’s OK or if it’s all coming out again………..

Fukn motor cars 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Sounds like you’ve been cursed like me lately. Hope it isn’t anything serious.

I’m feeling you mate, took the Ute to work the other day, parked and then saw a trail of transmission oil :crazy:
Took the Ute because the suspension on my Monaro was feeling really bad, found the top of the shock towers were loose :esurprised: and it had developed a miss in the engine, think it is an injector, so yesterday changed injectors :roll: then pulled the Ute into my workshop put it up on stands and found one of the transmission lines leaking, had to make a new one.

F#@king cars :crazy: :crazy: :lol: :lol: :lol:
