I have it booked in for a transmission service next week.

All jobs will then be completed - so I'm expecting I'll receive the rebuild of the month award from AFF.

I'm driving down south just before Christmas to show my wife what a great bloke I am by buying another bloody Ford.

I'm sure she will be ecstatic.

Mucked up an XR door spear years back, trying to remove it.
Wasn't happy with my respray, so ordered a new one off a Ford dealer on eBay.

For the record though, these are the official part code details, including the colour, taken from the back of the spear:

I like the ones on the ute, I think they suit the ute betterer and they are 19 inch whereas the others are 18s
That said upping the pastry intake a little would soon take care of the inch,fat dog on the back and job done.

I looked after the grandkids yesterday, got the young bloke to wash the ute with the foam thingy.

I also got the fence, the grass and the front steps washed as well.

I reckon these mods will enable another 5 km/h top speed.



Oh and this is what 'a mate' suggested ...

Looks better allready. Those stickers need to be dispersed across the tailgate. To make them last, I wouldn't glue them on until you arrive at Denny next year.
Those stickers are nearly 20yrs old, even unused.

Yeh; perhaps it's time he joined all the other RSL pensioners at Yapoon and moved on to driving a Getz or a Gofer.

My mother was taught to do backwards slaloms around 44’s at the police driving school in Zambia. Thought Cav might have had similar training, it was to GTFO of ambush situations?

OK so the tonneau cover was a little on the 'used' side and some water leaked in during downpours.

Interestingly enough it doesn't leak when there are no downpours.

I dunno what they put on the stitching but it didn't work.









That's done day 2 of the project
