sparky mate i can go anywhere (mackay) haha.

im not limiting myself to the hunter

There's loads of work up here but it's a shit town to live in, the only attraction is the pubs and titty bar.

The mines up here certainly do not seem to be slowing down, if anything some of them are getting bigger. Jobs won't be slowing down up here for a long time to come.

our super secret meeting will determine the next one, will be hopefully startish october thatll make me happy haha

on another note doing a small photoshoot tonight if your keen pm me or jarrad for details

Too much wild life around at night,and my liner is filthy. :action-smiley-069:

Awesome to hear Sean,

I'd only be able to do FIFO I got a house and a girl down here. 7 on 5 off would be ok, depends on the roster I can get. 6 month stint maybe 1 year or more if I like it?

Might buy a car off ya :P

A lot of the blokes do the FIFO. From what i've heard the rosters are pretty good you can choose from a variety but i guess it depends on the individual. I don't know a lot about the mines but i do talk to many miners each week being in the 4X4 and Commercial industry. I have a mate that's 19 does 5 on 5 off and makes $2500 a week driving a dump truck and he loves it!

a few guys up here do FIFO from coffs Harbour (Port hedland - perth, perth-sydney, sydney-coffs harbour) all flights paid for - so anythings possible

It real;ly depends on the company and what there willing to pay for.

yeah righto, hmm i could get the train haha f**k thats alot of traveling...

i honestly think id prefer qld, im guessing itd be a tad cooler and a tad less expensive and easier to get into? because everyones plan is "im going to WA" ya know? ill just apply for everything

New radiator fitted and bleed the cooling system

Now to do the wife's car when she gets back

It's a faily easy job once you know what your doing. I was pretty impressed how easy it ws to remove the radiator from a 34.

Good stuff Joel!

On another note. Chookie wants to take off his wing on his car. Can every please remind him what will happen to his bum hole if he has a 34 without a wing??

I'll start, it will be raped by big black gay men. :P

Well i've started a build thread. Just waiting for approval.

I've written out the first half dozen or so up-dates too, so it might look like the first the fastest engine build in history.

Looking forward to the read!

Good stuff Joel!

How long did it take for your build thread to show up matt?

i think it was a day or two... Wasnt too long but was annoying after typing for ages and knowing you then have to wait lol

Yes- they do FIFO from Newy i was speaking to a client about a week ago that does it and lives in merewether just not sure how it's structured. BMA is a good company to work for (so a lot of people i talk to say) same with Haynes (diesel fitter)

I sell 4X4's up here so i speak to a lot of miners. In regards to Mackay being less expensive.. think again. It's insanely expensive, say for instance in the clubs- King st Hotel $3 or $4 spirits, up here it's $15 for a CRUISER lol. The mines has made everything really expensive, i was told once Mackay is the 17th richest city in the world. But that's just because of the resources. Mining is a really good thing to get into if you are keen to work hard and make a f*ck lot of money!

Weather is great, compared to Newy it's probably a little bit hotter but it's never cold. FIFO miners have their flights paid for it's part of whatever package it is that you get upon employment

    • That would be interested if it's the case as seems like it would make the job a lot messier but subaru sells OEM gaskets so seems it might of had it.
    • Fuel tank is out. Looks pretty bloody good under (ie above) the fuel tank.  Amazing how good the factory e-coat holds up in the hidden areas.  No where near as much body deadener to get rid of as the front but still not looking forward to it!  Shit of a job.  I'm thinking I might grab a needle scaler and give that a go before I attack it with the angle grinder and wire wheel which is how I did the front 2/3's of the car.  Feels good to be working on the car again but who knows how long it will last!  Hopefully I can get it further forward than where it was prior to this last block of work when I decided to go back 10 steps further down the rabbit hole from where i already was! The problem is, I'm realising how hard it will be to repair and paint the bumpers, which cannot be put back on the car, and have a good paint match. There are also areas where it would be VERY hard to hide the new paint where it transitions from old paint. Like this- There is only one way to do that perfectly and I really dont want to have to do what that means I would have to do... 🤦‍♂️
    • Pretty sure the factory assembly doesn't have any gasket at all, just RTV.
    • I will get a couple cans for sure thanks, I do have 2lt fish oil to spray around the car already.
    • Thought I’d post pics of the packages for those interested. The premium package is #16. Remote start, security with tilt sensor and remote and backup battery, auto fold mirrors and door illumination.    Can post up pics of all the factory options and images from the factory options brochure if people are interested. I have all the dealer books etc for all rv37 models.
