I have it booked in for a transmission service next week.
All jobs will then be completed - so I'm expecting I'll receive the rebuild of the month award from AFF. I'm driving down south just before Christmas to show my wife what a great bloke I am by buying another bloody Ford. I'm sure she will be ecstatic. |

Mucked up an XR door spear years back, trying to remove it.
Wasn't happy with my respray, so ordered a new one off a Ford dealer on eBay. For the record though, these are the official part code details, including the colour, taken from the back of the spear: |

Obviously you've been listening to Cav's Country Music and fallen asleep at the keyboard.

I looked after the grandkids yesterday, got the young bloke to wash the ute with the foam thingy.
I also got the fence, the grass and the front steps washed as well. |

This morning's work.
I reckon these mods will enable another 5 km/h top speed. Oh and this is what 'a mate' suggested ... |

OK so the tonneau cover was a little on the 'used' side and some water leaked in during downpours.
Interestingly enough it doesn't leak when there are no downpours. I dunno what they put on the stitching but it didn't work. That's done day 2 of the project |
