Losh's VR Ute build thread

[Lex]

Maybe, called him too many times, although I am pretty sure it's been over 10 weeks since I dropped them off..... I have called him probably five times in that 10 or more weeks.

Don't ring him. Let him ring you. He is going to wanting the cash soon. So my guess is he is going to finish the job.
(Hopefully )

Maybe that's the issue, I have already given him $900. I only owe around $400.......

Ordered two new tyres going with the new version of the KU22 as they are now obsolete. The new ones are the next level up from the KU22 in the same brand. $125ea at Kmart plus I will need an alignment. Still chasing a knock and have asked them to try and work out what it is. I sure hope it's not strut bearings again as they are less than six months old and I went for good quality SKF units as the previous set crapped out in a couple of years.

I was once told that I was just working for a car. I think that I am in good company.

Wife and her family started calling my ute, my "girlfriend" used to really piss me off and I asked them to stop. Now they need a new name for the ute, I said what about "The Turd" because even though I'm polishing something on the ute nearly every day, it's still a turd...... And it has become a very expensive turd..... Plan was to slow down but things lately have just started ramping up....

Shît adds up quickly, right? Is all about the level you want to it be. Showroom condition can be pricey, just legal to run... might be just few coins away.

It’s an expensive hobby... Just remember, OCD doesn’t mean only detailing the car

Yet when I look up prices for little things I'd like to neaten up or make period correct my jaw drops.,..

Its always cheaper to fix the bucket of sh#t you have, than go & buy a new bucket of sh#t that nobody can fix.
Doesn't matter if l'm right or wrong, its just my opinion.
