balls rolling?

anyways, on a more constructive note, well, deconstructive perhaps, used an angle grinder for the 1st time today. beautiful light show.
And i got the nose off, + i cut too little off, rather than too much. which is good, in a way. just more work. but i'm getting there, baja is in the making, its too late to turn back, the things already got its nose cut off.
Am planning on mixing baja kits. Have bug eyed baja body kit with a rear scoop i got thats got a popes nose on it (think it will go good, maybe, got like 3 to choose from), but also with wide eyed guards, meaning road legal head lights !!!. Along with 2 centre lights, in the bug eyed nose.
Kool 😀

i've never used an angle grinder on a car. its too easy
i've painted a car on a mates front lawn, pulled an engine out using a forklift, and replaced a tyre using a coat hanger. bush mechanics at its best!
i have never used an angle grinder so i must also be a poor bastard with a sheltered life
🙂
Bush mechanics? I change tyres with my machine, remove engines with dads forklift, paint cars on a dusty driveway and eaten out of a hubcap! (Well, maybe not a hubcap).
Either way, I'm glad Chris is getting in there and doing it! Better late than never!

I put my engine back in a month agowith the slasher deck on a 40 year old Fiat tractor...got it in finally after a few hours and with only 3 bolts/screws left over
👍
ground the surface rust out of the drivers side footwell last week... and blew up the grinder.
🙁
put a less dodgy old stereo in not long ago but forgot to connect the memory wire...so had to pull it all out again.
🙁
and destroyed my front tyre 3 days ago driving the bus up onto metal ramps...dammit! :vader
But hey!...at least I tried!

Yes i do! coffee is gooood especially when your at work wishing you had bought your pillow!
Yes but I work harder!! Sitting in an airconditioned office at a computer all day, chatting and making coffee, oh its a hard life
lucky bastards. I have to stand up for 7 and a half hrs for work, serving freaks....
But just got a job at tandy, outta 4 other clients, i gotz the job!! Robina Tandy, here i come...
OH! And I got my baja front end all done. all fitted. just needs tidying, and then i need to go to a hardware store to get some appropriate bolts and nuts rather then shoving screwdrivers through to hold the nose in.
My guards, to fit them in, I need to redrill holes. Any special things to consider when drilling into fibreglass?

thanx for the monster mash song, tiz still awesome !!! :P:P:P
As well as the great escape theme music :P
Getting my rear ready to cut off. took off the fenders, the auto tranny reservoir, and that other big canister thing to the left, am doing a manual conversion after alot of advice and research. + I got no where to put the big canister thing and reservior once i cut the metal off (cause its so freaking huge big canister things, and they bolt where the rear bumper bolts on, and they stand out like saggy cows testicles when u gotz baja guards on.)
