to clarify i have a mate that works at this particular store so get some rather decent discounts on the stuff. i specifically mentioned KIT139K to him. if you are after a kit and theres enough interest ill speak to them and see if a group buy can be organised because yes thats an insane price if its the correct kit :P |

Paint stripped the RHR quarter panel and was extremely surprised!
A small dent near the tail light opening and another small one at the top - absolutely no sign of rust! Etched it and did the repairs. |

Today I replaced the 7 female pin trailer plug on my ute with a new Narva one...The old one was buggered. Also got the fright of my life just before while replacing one of the parker globes - Had my hand behind the headlight to pull out the headlight plug when all of a sudden a Redback started crawling up my hand...It scared the crap outta me. The spider is now dead and I didn't get bitten so it's all good.

Fitted an electric fan from a dead Rodeo to the radiator of my XM to keep it cooler if I get stuck in traffic, then washed and cleaned it for Shannons on Sunday.

Just finished fitting a new set of 235-40-18 to the beast, Now just have to figure out how to get out of the driveway without ripping off the front spoiler. Concrete cutter could be the next purchase.........

Almost threw something through the passenger front window - wind noise (whistling) is driving me batty - I've replaced the door seals (with second hand ones that I thought looked better) and nipped the top of the door frame in a bit to maybe seal a bit better but it's not helping - only other thing I can think of is maybe the mirror!! Arghhhhh!!

Today I removed the crappy Supercab stickers from my AU ute. Also removed the black side moulds so I can spray them winter white to match the rest of the ute.
