And no pub this weekend unless ts at the bay

Taking the boat up Sat arvo and hitting the drink with friends and then taking boat out Sunday

Who's in?

FYI Jarrad and Martin

Just saw this on facebook so you could give hi octane a call if you wanted in.

"Anyone here with a R34 GTT in Sydney? Hi Octane Racing need to trial fit their new airbox. Anyone that wants to bring a car to 36 Mary Pde Rydalmere and let them fit one gets to keep it for free! I was just there, the offer is still good..."

Yeah I'm still keen!!! Details??

Were painting atm :)

I'll send you a text

Painting is fun, I love it when you spend alllll day doing it and the wife comes along does one brush stroke and says look how much I've done I painted the whole thing and BTW the little bit you did there I can see you missed a bit.

thanks for the heads up benji.

way to busy for that right now though

just spent 5 hours trying to finish wiring my tv in the bedroom for a wall mount, got to mounting the ariel fitting to the wall which would have made the job finished and dropped the bracket down into the wall. many many many many swears....

haha emma had a good crack with me on monday, solid 9 hour day we got in, and... we did 1 coat in the hallway.... though, there are 6 doorways and it was emmas first try.

Oh I feel your pain with dropping stuff

Awwwww poor Emma

We all have to start somewhere I suppose

was that depressed man haha...

i now have around 5 mins of work to finish it, but no parts.

yeah she was getting better, i think her problem was she wasnt putting enough paint on the wall to begin with, so when she went for her finish she had nothing to work with.

id like to claim im in full blown natural, even emma admitted i was heaps better then her haha. steady electrician hands :D

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
