What did you do to your VR/VS today?

[bevzan]

been a busy week, towed the ute back from lpg shop to fix some gremlims.
Engine kept running to hot to tune the lpg stuff
Ended up being bad alloy radiator, had a split in the side that only opened under pressure.
So picked up a brand new 3 row heavy duty copper/brass radiator.
Spent a day stuffing round getting spacers for clutch fan to fit.
replaced thermostat
replaced clutch master cylinder (motherfuc#er of a job, dont recommend anyone do this as it was brutal, took 8 hours of stuffing around)
tomorrow task is to check all wiring connections cos i am bound have knocked something loose.
Pull of front clip and fit engine oil cooler and extra thermo fan.
Countdown on for wed pm, as it has to be at tuners thrus 8am
trying to get it all done but only have so little time and with 1 arm makes it a bit slow

Hoping I don't jinx myself! Installed an outdoor odometer, just because.

It might help people know that some of the horses might have escaped too, when I'm a bit slow up the New England hills.

Prepped my re-bushed left CA ball joint with moly grease ready for the mech to fit it when he repairs the strut later this week. Was hoping to grease both sides, while I was at it but my grease needle snapped. Damn grease gun flex hose; should have used the one with the solid end so it didn't wobble around too much. Brand new needle too. Now need to order a new one now so I can grease the other side.

Cracked tail light, cracked bumper , floors moved a little , supports little bent, spot welded panel under the tail lights buckled as. I'm thinking her insurance will tell me they'll give me $1500 and I can keep it.

Strut bearing tops arrived yesterday. Slightly disappointed that the boots i ordered as well are made from plastic. Hopefully they will last. Says made in Germany. Time will tell i guess. Ute's booked in for Thursday. Hoping i might have some money come through on my super. If it does i will see if he has time to do both sides struts and CA's.

I tidied up the engine covers a bit. The red on black looks pretty nice. Used a syringe with a needle to get the paint to flow nicely into the lettering and logo, still made a few mistakes, but a lot less than with a brush!
