Video is on facebook ladies, go be friends with Joshy :D

He is actually doing things, which is good.

I think Josh has come to the realisation that a loan wasn't the best way to get the ute, nor the torana finished, but from FB updates, he has a decent job now, hence the actual progress on things.

I dont quite understand whats going on here? Are you implying that if you have a mortgage then you cant build a car in a timely fashion?

Not sure why you've quoted me there? I dont see any form of bullying in my question which was directed at Quagmire.

Ive got a big mortgage also which I am paying off all by myself, I dont think it held me back that much. I knocked my car over in just under 2years. There are still a lot of things that can be done on a car that wont cost money, however it will cost you time and effort.

Im just a bit confused as to why Ive been quoted above and called a bully? I know I can be sometimes, but I dont believe I am in this case?

Sorry Brad. Quoting you wasn't meant to imply you were a bully. I guess I should have +1'd or something as I agree with what you wrote.

kudus to you for what you done brad
but it's my car it's under cover and it can wait till the moons collide
ie when i have both time and $$$ to do what i want to it
not a rushed "bog and flog"
i have other projects both car and non car i want to do first and these are taking up my time and spare dollars
i see no point in stripping it to bare metal when it's likely to sit longer and cause me no end of pain
unlike josh their is no real time frame for when it gets done
when it's finished it's finished and i will enjoy it then ...even if i'm 60 by that stage
and fyi not everyone who lives in wa works on the mines making the big bucks..
well done to josh for getting it to this stage..
if any one wants to talk further about my lack of progress...or just sit stir post in my thread
i don't care i'm a big boy :)
but be warned i bite....
don't post crap to get to me in joshies...he cops enough and deserves it sometimes too :)

Is all your plumbing ridgy didge?

Do you have a rubber section and is it the correct grade etc?

Is it the correct fluid?

Is the pedal/rod etc all correct length and adjustment?

Check the simple things before you pull the box.

Keep going...
