Removing a suzuki body the hard , damn dangerous but quick way.

Eventually it came out with brute force and ignorance.

Some more pictures of project “japs eye”

Or is it? ……..for once I wasn’t at work etc so raced home at 8.00pm, had a quick scrub then straight down the pub, bugger me where are the lads? anyone would do just

somebody to talk to would be nice! A few phonecalls later and I realise Monday night has been changed to flippin Tuesday night this week only! GREAT.

Luckily a very ’senior’ member turned up followed by another ‘long termer’ and we did have a good a laugh (neither of these guys knew of the day change).

Suppose the Monday pub turnout equaled the Saturday driver total at Wagtail!

Maybe the Tuesday turnout at the pub will break all attendance records? Hope it does .

Hopefully with the Website getting better by the day and Summer comin things will improve, especially with a Challenge planned and a wicked bit of new ground to beat.

Also worthy of note is that a ‘brightly’ coloured car with 2 astromoners in it has been seen a lot recently, well we assume they’re into astrology as they’ve been staring

at the Moon quite a lot. I’m off now but please follow this post with any comments at all, might just make myself a jam sandwich before I go to bed!

Cheers.

Hello fellow off roaders here are some pic’s from the new site at Stoke on trent.

As you can see Alex was the test driver and a good job was done by all who attended.

Thanks to Mark (beaver) Mark N, Ako, Shrek, Gaz, ChevyChris, Alex,Callum, Mat (beaver)and Cooter the dog, Little Chris, Ben.

Hi everybody Shrek ere……………………

I will not be using a l200 ever again for off roading there crap.. I was so disgusted with mine i sold it as soon as i got back from wagtail. I think i could have got round the course better with no truck in my slippers after drinking 15 pints of pedigree, in the dark. with no legs, I hated it, its better off as bean tins, I’d rather stick pins in my eyes and kiss Ako than ever use one again.

my trusty diacrapsu that big Jim built will be back for the next meeting. I love that one…

I have also just purchased a 4.2 bob tailed range rover its fully tricked up. i will use that for my new R.T.V. adventures.

So back to wagtail where were you all ?

and Chris yes I did do the doughnuts, but as i remember last time at wagtail you tried to break the land speed record so i suppose we are quits now ?

and also Chris i noticed you scratched your Toyota a little bit ,so I will be giving you 39p less for it now.

and any body who now makes a brew at the meetings must wear asbestos gloves, see Mr Harrison for details..( sausage fingers)..

come on lads start supporting the club a bit more it will be a crying shame to loose it.

anyway going now my salad is ready lotsa luv the Shrek………………..

.

Some pics for your delight

I will try and up load the vid’s on you tube under spondon off road.

Here is a write up of my latest  bobtailing project.

Hi to all, the discovery was all ready fitted with some off road kit when I bought it, but I thought lets give it the chop, and make it more interesting, it takes quite a bit of working out the angles for the cuts, but used to it now as I’ve done a few in the last year, the roof and inner frame work and boot floor are all easy to weld as just steel, so the only tricky bit I am having trouble with is the ally tig welding, but I have a mate who is brill at it (scott doyle) so he will weld the sides for me this week and then its for the paint shop, the tow bar will be put back on and some extra brackets welded to chassis for the arms to bolt on, the tank this time I have had made from plastic with the discovery sender unit fitted back in, I had alloy ones for last ones, so will see how the plastic holds out, will let you know if splits, the filler cap will be reused and tigged into side panel, ( see photos ) the arches have been cut back to accept the 33 12.50 15 bfg tyres and offset modular rims, just got to get rocksliders with tree guards and a set of arches for finnishing off, the roof has been painted with semi gloss paint and the center of bonnet will be done when rest of car is painted, to stop the glare when roof lights are fitted. I hope you enjoy the project and only happy to answer any questions you have or ideas that could help in future projects, I have just bought another white 3 door 200 tdi and will bobtail that next. I hope to have it finished by early feb as it is still has tax and mot, ready for offroading.
