Installed Land Rover 130 Defender helper springs in my 110 Defender. Also installed a Redarc brake controller as, have been towing heavy trailers.

Thought I needed to replace the knock sensor on the Cayman, so ordered one online. Got around to installing, and when I felt for were the sensor should be on bank 2, I located a loose wire. A bit more feeling around, and I located the knock sensor, without any wires attached. Was able to...

Looks great. Nice to have a project during these times.

The top is 17mm form ply. Painted with a coating so the concrete does not stick very well to it. The steel was the scrap lying around. Cheers, Ken

Some much needed horizontal surface was created today. It is a tall work space, and fits over my table saw, and router stand. Easy to move around as it is on wheels. 2.4m x 1.2m and about a metre tall. Made from scraps I had around the property.

Changed the oil and filters in 2 of my cars. Two more to do.

I have a Hustler MiniFastrak that has had some issues. It is only a 36" cutting deck, but I wanted something I could get through gates on other peoples properties, as I was originally going to start up a yard maintenance business. This never happened, but still use it on my 2 acres. I only...

Thanks for the update, You have an amazing set up and collection of cars. I have never seen my garage that organised, or clean. I certainly will not be showing these photos to my wife! Keep up the great work. Ken

Hey Bob, I missed the post about the passing of your dog, but saw references to it. My condolences. Progress is looking good. Seems we have similar cable installers on this side of the world also. I have a cat 6 cable running from my modem out the wall, along my deck, across to a tree...

Our son did the right thing when he borrowed my BMW X5, and had two tyres plugged when he discovered tech screws in them. This was done at a shop 4 hours away from my home. These tyres are on alloy rims, and each have a Mcguard locking bolt with a spinning collar on them. They must have used...

Thanks for the info. Will post before and after pics. Ken

I have several planks for my scaffolding that need re galvanising. Many are covered with surface rust. I want to send them to Townsville (the nearest place that does it to me), and get them re galvanised. I believe they dip them in acid first before the gal process. Does this remove the...

Great project, and cars. I purchased a F30 330i, and was very underwhelmed by it's performance. SWMBO now drives it. and I have a diesel X5 (which I originally purchased for her), and a Porsche Cayman that I alternate driving to work in. Sometimes I also drive my TD5 Defender. Tough making...

Hey Bob, Hope everything goes well for you. Once the heart is back in rhythm, and the meds can be cut back, you will feel much better. Thinking of you from the other side of the world. Ken

Primer on bonnet, and both bumpers. Realised I didn't put enough thinners in the paint, and came out a bit dry, and rough. Took a bit of sanding to get it smooth again, but accomplished it in the end. Three coats of base coat, and 4 coats of top coat completed today. Tomorrow plan on fine...

School holidays, and working on Alex's car. Clear lacquer peeling off the bonnet, and tops of both bumpers. Photo 1. Backing out of garage, and Vanos oil line ruptured. New parts ordered. Photo 2. Bonnet and bumpers off for sanding and re-painting. Photo 3. Sanding commences. Photo 4. Bonnet...

Hi Crispy, Looks great, and fantastic to see progress happening. Our first house was in Belgrave, so understand planning and council of the Yarra Ranges. Congrats on getting it through without any changes. Cheers, Ken

Here is mine as of today. Everyone be careful with your loved ones in the garage. Bobby is currently suffering 3 broken legs, missing toes, and multiple lacerations and abrasions from getting caught under a car I was lowering from a lift. Didn't make a sound, so didn't know he was there...
