very neat job that Mog bet that concrete and rust was a real pleasure

Concrete/rust doesn’t bother it will cut anything just ‘washes away’ anything in its path

 

[Mogman]

What make is that - looks a proper scrufton?!!!

I love dogs, best friends you can have!

That bloody thing cost me £750 it’s supposed to be a Yorkshire terrier/boarder terrier cross
Took her home covered in shite and dust the bride wasn’t impressed

not so much about what's in front of it. it's what's around it that usually comes back at you ... done a fair bit of lancing meself and s**t is hot when it comes back at you .... silver suit job realistically to be safe

We bought a lab last year for £500 (the most I’ve ever paid for any animal) - he’s got a great pedigree etc, loads of field trial champions in his lineage (not that that bothers me one bit - he was the right dog at the right time and is growing into a real cracker).
A lad at work recently bought a cocker spaniel crossed with a poodle or something (basically a mongrel) and it was £1500! I was crying when I heard!
My rat-dog is coming up to 16 years old now and was £150 from a hill farm near Caernarfon - he’s paid for himself many times over in stud fees. He’s my best friend in the world and is going strong, but it will be sad times at some point in the future obviously....

My best friend was a reformed Border Collie that was fully trained. Got her from when an elderly relative of a forum friend died. Went to Leeds to meet her and she was stressed out as couldn’t cope with being kennelled with other dogs. The wife wanted me to sleep on it. Decided to say yes and friends brought her down a week later. She is terrible when anyone is shooting and she ran several times. Eventually she learned to run back to our door!! I had never worked a sheep dog before so I went on a course. The trainer offered me £1500 for her. The wife could never understand why I kept her!! She is now 12 years old and no longer the sheep gatherer she was due to eye site and selective deafness. Not sure how much longer I have her but she will be very hard to replace!

Enough of this teary eyed furry friend bullshit - how’s the new truck coming on, and where are the pics of you finding out what it can (or more interestingly, can’t) pick up?!

Very very Sad

It’s got porous liners so having major surgeryhead off and pressure tested same with the oil cooler and 6 new pistons & liners but to be fair it’s done1.1 million km which I was aware of, so as long as the bill comes in under £6k I’ll be happy and will still be a cheap motor

 

[Monkeybusiness]

I’m sure you’ve got an engine that’d fit somewhere that you keep tripping over?!

 

[Mogman]

Well I’ve got her back from my Volvo guy £7k for parts and labour had a total engine rebuild so pleased with that,
now going to splash a bit of paint on it

took a bit of time stripping the panels off especially the bumpers and lower panels as the bolts were all sized up got a pal of mine doing the paint work
going to make an ally battery cover tomorrow, and see if I can still tig weld lol

A completely different thing

this is what’s inside an acetylene cylinder cut it with the shear the other day don’t try this at home

 

[diggerjones]

Looks like expanding foam. You can't be happy spending 7k when you wanted it to be 6k

WTF is that DA stands for "dissolved acetylene" .... always understood it was dissolved in liquid acetone ..... that looks like a fatberg! ....
