From Dylan

good on ya mate thats the way to be

removed the surface rust on and around my firewall, and prepped it ready for final coat of paint tomorrow - a productive day, just not exciting.

Trying to get Zelda back on the road.
Replaced distributor, blocked off pre-heater pipes on exhaust, connected heater boxes to fan shroud, re-timed her.

Drove around the block, just.
Need to tune the carbs but it is a bit of a touch and go thing.

finished fitting a race seat in my kombi & then proceeded to drive back from ferny Hills to attempt to load the kombi ute with rubbish & palm frongs & crap to go to the dump, only to end up stuck in my drive way with a broken starter motor :-( so i had a nanna nap for a couple of hours, had a beer, had some dinner, typed in here that i wanted a starter motor,,, had another beer

had a cherry ripe :-)

Aha sounds like an awesome day!

beer n rum

haha im still on the jimmys h just cooling of so hot here in south brizzy but sounds like everyone has had a productive day so far good work everyone and i feel sorry for you SebastienPeek i tuned my carbs up about two weeks ago and for some reason i cant get it to idle properly unless adjusting the idle screw

Rode my BMX & watched Empire Strikes Back again tonight with a few rums.

fixing couples of dents and finding more and more
now might aswell paint the whole car again lol

Worked (on call) till 9am, then hit the waves with the family. 3 - 4 foot and 4hrs of it.

Stuck around as a family with a bbq.
Played some cricket as a family in the back yard.
Watched a classic aussie movie: Young Einstein

started the day with a nice little session at murrays at manly. then cam home and sorted some things around the house.

Big day out

we had a working bee and bbq down at volksrecycle, pushed all the rollers out and been helping the big fella put all the loose stuff up on racks

From Dylan

We had a mad jjj hottest 100 party with about 40 people rocking up for a 30meter waterslide down our yard and an 'alternative' barbeque with lamb souvlaki. All ages had a good time with several beverages consumed and the rain holding off for the day. I'm not overly patriotic but I wouldnt live anywhere else and believe you dont need to play backyard cricket ,drive a holden or drink xxxx to be a proud aussie.(just dont ask me to oi oi oi)

.(just dont ask me to oi oi oi)

I helped a mate to suspend some meat slightly above some burning heat-beads, then wait for 6 beers, carve meat and serve!
