Why are limes so damn expesnive at the moment?

$10 p/kilo at the spudshed, or $1.20 each at coles (at about 100 grams each thats $12 p/kilo!)

What gives Perth?

I diy for my work / daily car but won't take risk for my 35 [emoji22] too complicated ! How did you go with fixing your door? Should we organise some fund raising car wash towards your door ?

I've been quoted $1000 to get it fixed which is going to take me about a month to get, mortgage and bills and what not. I'm not going to ask for donations or a fund-raiser for something like this, it's purely on me and my responsibility. That being said If anyone needs some odd jobs done or is willing to pay me to wash their cars I'd be delighted to... Or if some one would buy my subs/amp ahaha. Other than that the cars just benched until I can afford to fix it/change the tires.

Thanks for the thoughts though.

buy a tree and keep in a pot. the dwarf ones at bunnings are around $20-30 and dont grow very big.

graft a lemon branch onto a lime and have both fruit from the same tree

speaking of fruit ive now got orange, lemonade, pink lady, granny smith, mulberry and 2 Nashi trees in the ground

want apricot, cherry and a dwarf avocado tree next

Canningvale markets on Sunday mornings have better/healthier and cheaper fruit trees than Bunnings IMO

Or even Marangaroo on Saturday mornings.

i went up to guildford garden centre who seems to specialise in dwarf fruit trees for some of them

That's fine too =) Bunnings charges wayyyy too much for what you get. Just sayin

actually i shopped around a bit and i didnt think they were too bad,

i bought citrus from there and it was in good shape and $20 each for dwarfs

i only went to guildford cos they were the only ones who seem to do Nashi pears and their website shows stock levels which is handy

Hmmm.... maybe

Hmm interesting. I have been looking at the plants there for ages and always found them to be quite pricey. Maybe I haven't been looking at fruit ones for awhile. Or the Bunnings near me is just shit with their quality of plants. Good to know about Guildford though, might take a look if they have anything I want hehe

$28 for a lime tree, if I kept it alive it would pay off.

How hard is it to graft a lemon branch on?

yeah fruit wise they are well priced and both bunnings in bunno they are in good shape. local nurseries dont do dwarfs

not sure how they compare with trees

    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
    • As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.
    • but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
    • Absolutely. Look very closely at the photo (of yours) that I took my second snip of. See how the sill is thicker material right behind the pinchweld, where the two notches are? That is the factory reinforced area for lifting. That pad is supposed to carry the weight. The factory jack (go look at it, and how it interfaces with the car at the pinchweld) shows you exactly how the load is carried from the car to the jack to the ground.
