Pics will tell the story but all credit to Ashleigh & Cara for r & r'ing the dash with minimal incompetent supervision... well done girls! :zlove:

Cameron had a tyre blow out at 100k and survived.... otherwise a great weekend.

 

Awesome effort guys. Quite an impressive team

hanging off the tools too. Someone has friends in high places

Might be looking to do a plenum pull and push myself soon

 

Thanks Rob, was good to get in and contribute with something other than Bacon and Egg Muffins .

Ash and I make a good team... but no more dash r & r's for us... we QUIT!!!!

 

Thats a hell of a work load. well done to all involved.

 

Far out heaps of incredible posts this evening, I'm supposed to be working.

What a team , I would imagine one very happy zeder.

 

well done guys and gals ...... BUT ........:worthless:

 

Was a great weekend and very rewarding to help a fellow Zedder out. Thanks to Karl and Jo for your accomodation.

Yes, I had a hard trip getting there, with the clutch slipping more and the blow out half way between Toowoomba and Dalby.
Thanks to Ash for saving the day as I had no spare and thanks to HayleZ for the easy ride home. Love ya!
I drove away with not a new tyre, but a whole set of 19's wrapped in brand new falken rubber. That's one expensive fix!

Now to find the time to swap my clutch over.

 

What is it with Sticky and blowouts/flats

 

Can't quit now...

You'll do it half the time, next Zed. And do bacon and egg muffins, I hope.

 

Mike puts nails in Stick's tyres when he is asleep, and has a will bequeathing the 300 to Mike that he got Sticky to sign one knight during a drunken binge, no doubt a few panels will be damaged meh hes only after the running gear.

 

I just can't put it in words how grateful i am to everyone who helped out this weekend. you guys all rock and i love you all to bits!!! i hope a fun weekend was had by all. i certainly enjoyed myself kicking back and watching the work get done!!

i'm this close to having my baby back on the road.... and now, hopefully in the next few weeks with some brand new kicks!! (Thanks Cam!!)

I'll post some pics up when i get to work tomorrow, but let me just say, Benny and I had an awesome afternoon down in Greenmount coming across an awesome guy called Mick who had about 447 killerwasps under his hood!! amazing!!!


night night for now. i'm off to catch up on two nights of sleep!!!! :zlove:

 

Tambo was the result of a bulge formed from drift practice a week prior on a cheap and nasty set of tyres that came with the wheels!

This time, I had a big nail in it and it slowely leaked flat while on the highway, got the shakes up something fierce and heaps of tyre smoke...Killed the tyre good and proper. Will allign camber and hope I don't have any further troubles.

Any time HayleZ. Need to contact me with your details and get some wheels before the weekend. My car needs some serious love before the next long trip. But hey, if I have to then I will.

 

Might be something in that

There was a NAIL in the tyre

 

My very limited number of photos!

HaylZ took care if all the media coverage this time.



Thanks HaylZ!


Sweet sweet Jolly Rogering DISH!

 

Well done to NastyGirl and Cara.

Ashleigh call earlier and was telling us about the heater core. I was surprised and impressed.

Of course, she could have done it in about 30 minutes once the screw in the hard pipes was removed, and with a plenum pull, that would have been a piece of cake. But, you can't put a price on experience and learning value alone make its worth it. Well done girls....

BTW Ashleigh, don't expect any help putting your new interior in when you get it done.

 

Buuuuutttt Daaaaaddddd!!!!

Mikey and Benny heard my cry for help a few times this weekend ..... but all in all a great weekend.

I had a great time working on the zed even if we had the dodgy job of pullin a dash ..... Go the Girls!!!

Thanks heaps to Karl and Jo for their hospitality and to Haylz for a great dinner

Great to see the zed community come together to help Haylz out.... Lookin forward to see it all done at Gympie!!

 

where are all the pix i wana see pics. sorry guys had i had known i woulda come lend a hand. oh well maybe next time?

 

Fat chance! Did you read Haylz's post about posting pics up today when she's at work? Didn't think so.

 

Yep, had a great weekend! Got so much done, i don't think any of us thought we'd pull off so much work! but with the help of many competent workers and some teamwork, we got stacks done! all that remains now is to give the engine bay a quick spray, drop the engine back in, tidy up a couple of other little things, and give it a tune. Done!

Another great time was had though, even when not working on the Zed. Great laughs, more increadible food by HaylZ! Oh, and to Ash for sandwiches for lunch too!

Ash, you impressed the shit out of me on the weekend! Working on the dash didn't scare you at all and got stuck into it - considering it's a PIG of a job and something that i'd rather never have to do again in my life. Great work, and it's great to see more female enthusiasm into Zeds!

Rob, it's always great seeing your work too mate. A very focused and knowledgable man, and was great seeing more of your work. :zlove:

Karl and Jo, thanks again for having us. We just had to try out sleeping in the tent on the Trambampoline, but probably not the wisest thing on such a cold night. But apart from that it was a great stay out there!

However by the time we got back home and ready for a good sleep we got a second wind from meeting a friendly chap out at my country pub who was showing us through his $500,000 Prime mover. 600hp 16Litre, turbo'd 6 cylinder engine. And guess what, not only did i get to honk it's air horns, but i got to Bev-Rev it!! However, he didn't do a burnout in it even after we pestered him

See you all at Gympie!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :zlove::zlove::zlove::zlove::zlove::zlove:

**and i'll see you again next weekend Karl and probably Cam**

 

Now that makes the mind boggle.
No wonder we all love these events
Hope you washed your hands afterwards Ben
