I'm impressed. I wish I had a workshop like that Bubba - I would be living in it.

What car shampoo did you use on that Jeep. Made it shrink a bit, did'nt it?

Service time at MJS along with extra's like new braided brake lines, wheel spacers & UJ's etc was the order of the day, bit more to come today. Bit of a downer was the front hub bearings that were replaced not long ago need replacing already

Biggest smile of the day, apart from Ally's bacon sarnie goes to Kevs spare mindy

. Bit of shunting around of trucks was needed in the day but come close of play, a car that had not been started for 12 months, had only been run twice on the previous 3-5 years, with 5 year old diesel in it, not only started, but started 1st time after only 2-3 revolutions of its little engine

Un ber feckin leavable ..... Ya gotta love them there Mindy's

Indeed I am mate, Panic & his box of special electrickery that whispers to der panzer in soothing tones has worked its magic once more, thank you most kindly

However, his parting words were, now fuck off & dont come back ...... followed by "I'm moving house before anyone else brings me another patient"

well tonight is a 40th family party so have a full on night of food and fun no drink cos i am drivin but in the morning i think i might do a transfer case change and new front springs on our zj the viscous coupling has been a bit feckered for a while and later on possibly some compression testing

all dependent on how exited i feel in the morning

bigjeepzj · « **Reply #1016 on:** October 27, 2012, 07:05:22 PM »

you putting an XJ one in

Bubba · « **Reply #1017 on:** November 17, 2012, 06:38:50 PM »

so the last couple of weeks have been interestin at least
i changed the transfer box on larry
looked at jays wj to rule out the head gasket then left him to consider options but i see this is now in hand so thats good in fact it been a bit busy with way to much family and work stuff i hardly looked at the forum but in that time i got a call from a mate at 9pm to say his breakdown truck had broken down

so i towed him back and fixed out side his house 7.5 ton iveco
then in desperation i had to do a head gasket on a mitsubishi space thing folowed by some brake work on said iveco
andv today a some bits on a diesel wj

i bin so busy you would think with workin all the hours i do i would be minted

i dunno if i have to many freinds or weather i am too good a friend at times

crimbo is beatin on the door and as a doing my best father i have got to pull some rabbits out of the hat but first i need a hat in fact i am tossing over weather to sell my mindy only thing stopping me is the values are going up so fast i doubt i could replace it

Bubba · « **Reply #1018 on:** November 17, 2012, 06:42:01 PM »
