Hi all I thought I might give you all a Easter Update....
I removed the damaged crap side steps they were weaker than the running boards on my PT Cruiser the bolts went through the floor and buckled the floor near the accelerator pedal fixed that bashed it flat after having to cut the damaged bracket and bolt off ... also had to remove the plastic trim off the doors as the CarKiller had kissed a Roo and slightly moved the front guard which meant the trim snagged when opening the front drivers door I will have to pull it out a slight bit but without the trim it does not catch ........
the worst part was getting all the glue off I tried wd40 tea tree oil and finally kero using a plastic bakery scraper I got it off hours later............... removed the damaged mud flaps I left the brackets on and straightened them I will get 2 new tyres this week... so it will be sitting on 4 new tyres and a decent spare..... bI also got onto a guy in Cairns on Gumtree and are getting a Nudge Bar with spot light brackets for $55 and about $50 postage still have to do the tranny gasket which I have and are waiting for the correct CCV hose fittings to come from rockauto the brakes are a bit spongey and I noticed today that one of the rear wheel cylinders is leaking.......that's why so I have to fix that
I need a passenger tail light and there is a good star in the windscreen the CarKiller put superglue in the star but I don't think it would pass a REAL RWC having said that I know my local Psyco Mechanics would give me a RWC to put it in my name would be less confusing if I wish to sell in the future (which will probably happen) BUMMER...too many regos for a pensioner.... as it is a pretty good XJ
