Boags is having a dodgey day!

Postby Boags » Fri Aug 11, 2006 6:00 pm

OK guys!

You may know that my Shazza is having a few small issues at the moment which need attention. This calls for a dodgey day!

I'm booked in for the Advanced Driver training at Morgan Park this weekend, so i'd like to have a look at a few things before then.

It will have to be either Thursday or Friday this week, so i'd like to hear from anyone who would be able to give me a hand.

I need to:
install a new radiator
full brake and clutch fluid change
check timing mark for TDC (my marker has been moved and is not reliable)
And i'm sure i've forgotten things and people will add some \"while you're there you might as well....\"

So, sorry for it being a weekday, i have to be at MP on Saturday morning, and i'll be staying friday night in Warwick, so things can't carry on too long if we do it Friday.

I will have: Beer and meat.

Anything else will have to be special order :D

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also have quite a small area for working in, but i have most tools that we will need.

Thanks in advance!

when you say \"Thursday or Friday this week\" and your post is dated 5.00pm Friday, that doesn't leave us much time. :shock:

If per chance you mean next week, the 16th is a public holiday in brisvegas is it not? :D
Went for a drive and there were slow cars everywhere, why are NC's so common . . . must be NC = Normally Cardiganed.

Good call on Wednesday Mark!

And yes, sorry I meant 17th or 18th. My house is fine as well in Aspley.

I'm off to work now but let me know what day is best for you guys.

I think Thursday is the go!

And it looks like i'll be straightening fins out on my radiator this time, not replacing it... :frown:

I live in Aspley near the Pick'n'Pay Hypermarket. PM for address if you can make it, or call 0437 545 002.

Thanks in advance!

I'm available Friday (my Eka day) or Thursday afternoon/evening. I'm so curious as to what is going on with your timing.

Boags,

Would love to assist but the snowy slopes of NZ south island will have my undivided attention on that day.....

Have fun.

So it is Thursday then? What time are you looking at starting? I might be able to swap my day off from Friday to Thursday.

Apparently Geoff's due for his 3rd visit to MX-5 Plus today - I just spoke to Richard about various parts and then Geoff rings up - heh. :)
