United States of GRIZZ - Just how random do you want it?

I think there is a Peugeot tool for this.

Mate Martin sent me some very old photos that time when we were young.

Details of the cab lifter are clearer

So I can go measure up the cab, find some lumber in my store (yes I have one of those for wood) and make up a new lifter.









My C10 is ready and waiting.

Cab needs four big guys or friends that I don’t have to lift off.


So this will be a great tool to have on hand.



Maybe that will be a job for later today.

I am still struggling to get the trunk of the 206 open.

But it is Friday again.

Progress. 


What does it look like. 


Sometimes you really have to look.  


This current phase of trying to get back onto the C10 build started around the 20th of February. 

So I make it four weeks of work and brainstorming. 

Now keep in mind, none of you have a clue of what junk I have and just how chaotic my stuff may be. Hidden in so many places, sheds, the house etc. So despite the progress seemingly being tortuous and slow, it is progress, more so than if I were watching long Netflix episodes.  


And as my mentor (bollocks me gently if I screw up) and friend Fil says, it’s a lot like going to the gym. You know you should but you don’t   So when you start, it is slow, but you keep going and start to reap the rewards. Of course as another wise man said “Touch it, Feel it, See it. Move it, That is Progress” 



So Wednesday Night I was on a roll  came in, had some dinner and saw Sally who popped in for dinner, for an hour then went back to the garage and carried on till 9.15pm  Not happened for a very long time  

I managed to get this far  








George was down there the whole time   
He says nothing, doesn’t judge me, but I suspect that if I died or got mortally injured, he has his knife and fork ready, along with a bottle of hot sauce  





At about 8.30 I came in to grab a glass of Pepsi Max. Walking back the view made me smile again.  


There has been Progress here  







Then came in by 9.30 to shower, thought screw it, watched an hour or so of YouTube videos and got to bed  



Lying in bed, I ran through the last four weeks and thought about how much better I feel about this . And of course I made some cash out of the clutter  



Life is good

Big thumbs up

Clutter? Junk? Get it right! It's quality used spares.

I don't know about Drum, but there's an unhealthy amount of space that needs filling up.

Big thumbs up

You can come have a brew and biccies any time

Stuff can get you down. I don't mean things that go on or the myriad trials of life - just Stuff. I've learned to live with mine but I do make sure it doesn't get unmanageable - not by the standards of other people, mind, just my own.

I am a champion of the packrat world.

Hate waste, in case someone can use stuff.

Turfed a few Ford Cortina spares this week with a heavy heart because nobody wants them.



I have also really capable of justifying to myself why stuff is there.

It feels amazing when you are able to pull a crazy thread pitch nut, bolt, fuse, lightbulb or whatever from your stash and give it to someone who needs it.
