    Busy weekend of Shed time, whats everyone else been upto?

    Very busy weekend, Started by replacing the next door neigbours snapped Axle in his SLR 5000 mock up.
    Let me tell you bloody drop tanks are a pain in the arse with lowered suspension when you only have a jack and axle stands.
    but 10 hours later on saturday we had the axle out and all the broken bits, replaced all bearings and new shafts back in, with a few beers to finish off around the pot belly.
    Today involved a service of the Wb ute, and the cobra, spent the hole day greasing nipple, changing fluids and genral tidy ups,
    Sounds like i owe the Mrs a box of chocolates , getting 2 full days in the shed, with no nagging yet.
    Whats every one else been upto.

    Cleaned the shed up a little bit. Started working on the thermo fan conversion for the ute, did a service and replaced the sump gasket as it was leaking in the ute... Also did a bit more cleaning and measuring of parts for the new 202 (or should I say, 208ci..)

    Other than that, sat down, read a book while 2.5''+ of rain fell just today... Overall, a good weekend, but it went too quick...
    Cheers,
    Matt
