Thats true. Unless it does work and you dont give a flying ####? Haha.

First noticed the leak at my mates down the road. Could smell it in cab. Had the steel on roof, after removing that at mine decided to pop bonnet. Thats when I found it.. Kinda dont want that leak either. Right under the coil is kinda scary..

You checked the fuel lines after you started it or did you just drive it? Hehe reminds me of when the clubby had a slight one on the passenger side (Wraith hadn't done up the clamp properly) he went to touch it and it squirted him in the face. Funniest friggin thing.

Ah well, should be sorted now. Hopefully your dodgy sealant job lasts too :p

Anything actually happening with the torry or is it just ditched for now?

I gotta find time to play with that baby.. Got parts to play with but also have dailys being a POS.
Wagon still has a fuel pump and fuel filter awaiting..
But that can wait..
Also gotta finish cleaning the man cave a bit more..

True, true plenty of time to do things right and non dodgy ;) Cars are a pain in the ass though at least for us there'll eventually be one less headache sitting in the driveway.

Oh, oh, oh had a chat to my cousin tonight about possibly buying his VU ute off him. It's been a work ute since new so body wise its rough, engine is perfect but its only a 6 cyl. Could be the exact starting point I've been looking for and if I can get it cheaper cause I'm family and all that hehe. Just thought I'd share that with you lol.

Just got under the wags to do the output seal on the manual. Found these. Basically behind the front seat. How bad?

Well they aren't cracks in the chassis thats the main thing.

I wouldn't worry too much
