Purchased some rear shocks from fleabay to get rid of the annoying rattle and clunk from a busted shockie.
I had a slight back flash to a few years ago when you had to actually drive around to the spares shops and try and haggle a good price. Ahh the memories of spending a few hours driving around to find a good price, only to realise that you spent half a day and half a tank of fuel trying to save a couple of dollars. Good times.......... |

Picked up my rear control arms from my old car (complete with good bushes) and have the lack of desire to fit them.

Gave the falcon a bath, pumped up tires and brimmed the tank with 98 ready for long weekend away at Port Campbell.

Gave it a minor wash to remove the bugs from my trip to Renmark on Sunday, and removed the stick on FPV badges which were starting to look a bit dodgy

I gave the ute my usual morning cuddle and went to work.
Then CAT600 took me for a drive in Aluminator. Now my ute wont talk to me because I called it weak and we argued about turbos on V8's and stuff. (The ute called them poofy hairdryers and I was threatening to rip Kenny off and fit a centri to it. Got a bit heated) I will apologise in the morning and treat it to a bit of redline rpm when I get home.

Damn, paid for shocks yesterday and they arrived today.
All fitted up and test drove, happily the rear end is nice and quiet now. The top bushing in the shocks was the fault as they must have dropped their show bags and walked off because they were not where they were meant to be. |

Checked the tyre pressures(first time in 10000km) and realised they were a tad low,like 10psi too low! Gave the ute a bath and chucked in some fuel,then proceeded to waste some of said fuel checking if the axle tramp is as bad with pumped up tyres
 Goes better with air in the black round things

Put a new regulator for the gauges in behind the dash and managed to have the headlight switch fall apart while the dash was going back in :(
Hopefully have a new switch in 2-3 weeks. |

i bought new engine mounts for my RTV, i figure that after about 40 000km with them being screwed and causing some rank vibration i should replace them lol. ( i thought it was an idle issue lol,but no, its engine mounts.)
also ordered a new holley and clutch for my F100

Test fitted front pod thingies, Im happy with the way it looks, all I need to do is get them painted and fit them in a more permanent way than the little bit of double sided tape I used for the test fit.

Got stuck in park gear at the local fence place.
Had to remove the centre console around gearstick and use a pen to get it out of park. Obviously it had to happen just before I had to go to work. |
