What I did today in my Perentie

[Budgie]

Hi Kman,

being sold due to family Ill health and the realisation that it would sit in his yard for a while  without TLC. So  it was put up for sale, and we both walked away happy, he sold his Perentie and in less that 60 minutes I had bought and registered one in my name, probably saved myself two days of safety checks, rego and a service, so smiles all around.

What I did today in my perentie, when i finally got home the family pitched in to get her ship shape. So we set to work with  my son on the vacuum and my wife and I with white Micro fibre sponges to remove the oxidised paint. Then a coat of Lanomax and she looks a million dollars, plus my daughter made us all afternoon tea. Rolled up all the sides as the sun was setting and my son and I set off for a lap for the local area feeling a million dollars. Next job will be the cockpit and canopy.

I have some before photos to come soon, and tomorrow I will get the after shots

As promised, taken this morning. I will get the after photo tomorrow.

Cheers

Great story Phil. Congrats on your acquisition - three of my friends up here have bought them and I am feeling a little left out

Never mind I have my S2A FFT to console me...

Now that is noice!

[Budgie]

Thanks,

They certainly come up a treat with "elbow grease" and lanomax. BTW the Caribou in the before photo has recently had the same treatment and that paint job had spent ~10 years out in the weather.

Cheers

 Beautiful day for a bush drive

I lifted the tarp and threw a new speedo cable and reversing mirror in then closed her up.
Might even fit them tomorrow!

I went to a resource centre and came out to find my GS had spawned an FFR in front of it..

Met a bloke called Beau from Canberra, of all places. Just in newcastle for the day and had to pick something up, chances of that happening again are 0.00005%

I checked all the brakes today, cleaned a heap of crap out of 1 rear drum, but the shoes were all good. Then decided to grease every nipple I could find until I came to the rear propshaft. Discovered over 1/8" of up/down movement in the sliding splines 
Considering the nuts are all new on both ends of the propshaft, someone somewhere has definately bodged this one up to make it driveable.
Not happy Jan!
Looking a refurbing the existing one somewhere very local or buying a new one

Hmmmm..... that was a lost opportunity to bring my number 5 home. Can't catch a break.

Not today, but yesterday and not my perentie, but lmurko's http://remlr.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=773.  Yesterday on the Hume highway near St Andrews, was test driving an SIIa and it was having a dead spot in accelleration, the dead spot kept growning until the vehicle completely died and would not run. 

The fuel guage was reading 1/2 so thought it had to be either the new coil had just failed or fuel pump or both.  Sitting in the dead lane/cycle lane with the bonnet up, what should pull in behind,  A 110 Topographical Survey driven by lmurko, who couldn't drive past a dead Landy.  Even towed the vehicle off the motorway to somewhere safe.

A BIG thanks Lachlan!

How stupid did I feel when it turned out the fuel guage was stuck at half on an empty tank with the other tank still with fuel!
