Wow time flies it's 7 weeks since the last post so you know it's gonna be a big one! After the last update i kept measuring the rear end of the amarok and things weren't quite straight enough! Seems the rear right wheel was toe'd in a bit and tough to measure but potentially the axle tubes had...

Been a few busy weeks but heres some progress Rolled/Sqeezed the Amarok into the garage Things looked pretty good after removing the rear bar/step The rear step is mounted with 6mm steel and has a boxed 2.5mm structure Can see from the bottom of this the chassis rail is untouched The worst...

Appreciate it Lyndon, yeah we ended up settling in the middle of our numbers which is about what i expected. Now to wait 2 weeks for the cheque to arrive and see if they bother listing it on the WOVR so i can jump through some hoops :unsure: Either way looking forward to driving my 'beater'...

Well it's been a busy few weeks so figure it's time to post an update before the long weekend projects start piling up :ROFLMAO: Trailer has received 5 Litres of carbuilders TXT coating using their adjustable gun Definitely sprays better than raptor liner, but i don't think it's as durable...

Congrats on the promotion Lyndon!

Ahh i remember reading a little about that! I too unfortunately are with the same double A insurance company and it seems my 'market' value doesn't really reflect the real world value currently given limited supply of cars and value is compared against most mid/low spec cars without leather...

Well ah another month and what a crazy start to the year Few 3d printing projects to sort ou the kitchen utensils It seems Kitchen bins are both insanely expensive but also don't maximize space...... Sheet of ACP + some glue and routering later Yeah i did assemble this at 11pm at night...

A month later and only a few weeks to christmas! Had to get a sneaky dirtbike ride in before Christmas :cool: Unfortunately my Husaberg was still sporting some battle wounds from it's last crash the worse of which is a snapped brake tip Wasted an hour round trip to the local bike shop that...

Absolute rollercoaster of a post Gregor! I'm well aware of that drowning feeling too! Often we focus on there being too many things to do and not enough time that we lose focus on our achievements along the way. As soon as you finish one project you think "ok i need to start x project next and...

Two weeks later and a thousand small projects later :cool: Flooring has significantly continued into the kitchen Yes, i did laser line my flooring to be dead straight to the front doorway to hallway. Finally stone installed! if you're wondering its ceasarstone 20mm empira white This is...

few hours :LOL: I left out so many things in this post :ROFLMAO: Yeah the brick situation was not ideal, bit of panic set in thinking about the few hundred kg of stone about to be slapped ontop :oops:. In my rough calculations the window frame should hold just over twice it's expected load so...

1 month later! Kitchen installers have swung by So you've probably noticed that's alot of self leveller to get to this point! :oops: But there is little avoiding it due to the hump in the kitchen floor During the process of mixing 24 bags of self leveller i've discovered i have a minor...

Steps looking good geoff! That fibreglass grid is a godsend for rainy days! I slipped down my front steps oneday and back has never been the same since :LOL: wish i had some of that stuff earlier!

Another month and plenty of progress :cool: Kitchen ceiling battened out, insulated, walls levelled Finally a good sunny weekend came up in time to start digging the trench for my new power feed. Hired a trencher for the day, only used it for an hour :ROFLMAO: Sparky wanted the trench as...
