I guess you do mean it but I don't know why?? I'm just trying to get my rear valance fixed. and do some other bits and pieces. its all fun. Took a trip to dave's (Stidub) house this arvo and checked out the progress on his car, and picked up some stuff to get my car moving along. 🙂
Great work mate, I am another one who checks in regularly on your progress mate. Glad to hear its moving along nicely....wont be long and you'll be going for a 😵💫😂
I've just spent the day (about 6 hours) putting a jetski back together with my mate (its kinda his.....) he decided to pull it all apart himself because he had no end of trouble with cruddy marine mechanics - and being a qaulified auto mech, he thought he would give it a go. In my book I'm now a jetski mechanic, and so is he.... and thats my week pretty much.
I have been driving colonel, just locally, and it's going ok, (good temps for driving at night currently..) but the suspension needs attention sooon. rear shocks seem to be getting super noisy, and lots of knocks too. not so great, but had a little more work this week, so might get some cash soon - (and darn stidub now has me searching for some special rear shocks... adjustable...) Still seaching for a full time job, but big citys are lame, and jobs are hard to come by. thinking about applying for a position in a high school with SU qld... but not so sure what to do currently.
G'day, I've been waiting on some updates too, but I can see you've been busy with jet skis and what not. Just a side note, what brand was the jet ski and was it 4 or 2 stroke? They're amazing things, as I recall going into our friends local auto/marine work shop where they were working on a jet ski with a shot crank bearing, it was a 3 cylinder Yamaha 2-stroke with 3 carbuerettors with absolutly MASSIVE throats!!! Also whats the go with your youtube channel, as I went to go watch a video of the colonel the other day and apparantly the videos dont exist🙁
Anyway all the best with your job search and the bug👍

It's a kawasaki - 2 stroke 1100cc 3 cylinder, carbie'd - 3 seater.
The issue with it was that where the shaft from the engine to the prop went through the hull it was leaking in many places, allowing alot of water in and choking the engine. So we had to pull the engine and everthing else out, clean it, get some parts and put it all back together - then actually get to run it properly for the first time. That's a ling story short anyways. It has heaps of guts. Can pull 2
tubes (with adults) and 2 adults on the jetski itself - In the Brisbane river, with 20 other boats around.
YouTube videos - I took them down cause I thought they were pretty ordinary really.
The lack of updates is mainly just becuase of the lack for money and finding it stupidly hard to find jobs in Brisbane - but have to money to set myself up away from home/and a very unreliable way of getting anyway over half an hour away.
went for a ride in Joels 1303 on sunday.... Im now more wanting to get my suspension and braking 100%... because his car was just awesome... and i cant wait for mine to handle that way! 🙂

still running the 1600 indeed. will be for a while... it will be celebrating when i put the dcnf and thunderbird on... but, still a few months off that...
any news to report...? yes. Today I got my momo on. totally ruins the speedo... but it feels much better than the stock wheel. 🙂

years of other people learning, and i know exactly what i want... just have no cash to do it... for ages I thought that there was no way i would buy the sherman rear disc kit... sunday changed my mind really fast.
Well, I got a new job, and the guy I work with likes early starts. So it's meet at 5am. He was late this morning so I got paid to AVD on my iPhone in the carpark. 🙂
when you say wheels next....is that for Colonel, or for the shopping trolleys???? Coz we all know how most shopping trolleys need their wheels replaced!!!!😂😂😂
mmmm....I like suprises!....now its me who will have their eyes peeled, waiting for the reveal! 😁
