Sorry to hear of your accident, and hope you have a fast recovery Jack. Does this mean Colleen will be fitting the 9'' diff now.

I wish your hubby a speedy recovery. And a reminder to all. Never lay under your vehicle whilst holding your non-captive G-Spec springs in place whilst lowering the trolley jack. The outcome is not nice. Trust me, i have been there and it is not a very nice place to be. :

My father was cleaning up a car for rego for a friend and had to weld a crack in the sump (old car, and so very dodgy), so he had it at our bus depot, and grabbed the forklift, stuck the tynes under the offside front wheel and lifted.
Then he climbed under it and went to work.

I had a go at him, and was going to walk away, but I thought that if anything happened at least I should be there to get the thing off him and call the ambos.

Hence why my fiance has been convinced to build a roti! He thinks that it's fine to work under the car with it on 4 axel stands and shake the F*#K out of the car with everything that he does on it :

Hope Jack recovers soon!
