All Toyota owners should have front recovery points so Nissans can recover them, I thought they were fitted as standard. >:D

I made a Harley Quin (Batman character) POP gun for my daughter to use at comicon.



I also started on building a Big Baby gun from Hellboy.


I still have a fair bit to do, and this one is a trial run which I call Little Baby, but the next will be with a much bigger barrel, twice the size.

This make 8 different props that I have built including Freddy Cruger gloves, joker cane, Harley Quin hammers, and assorted other props.
What the hell? its all fun

Gave the genny a run to clear the cobwebs out of it, and fixed the daughters pushy up with a couple of new tubes, so she now has a bike to ride over Easter and school holidays.

New tough dog springs and shocks went in today on the old 105, didn't realize the old Springs had sagged that much till the new ones went on. Gained 60 - 65ml up front and about 20 on the rear. Looks much better, drives even better!

Fitted a new Pioneer mechless bluetooth stereo to the daughters new car.

Previous stereo was obviously home fitted.  Head unit pulled out with no tools required, all wiring was twisted together an carefully protected with sticky tape and masking tape... At least it was easy to remove.



30 minutes later, with a soldering iron and heat shrink had the new plug looking a little better.



Might go shopping with her tomorrow for a set of 6" splits for the front and 6" 2 ways in the rear.  Also found an old amp in the shed, so maybe make a sub box for the back for some real doof doof. >:D

Bugger.

We threw out some sub boxes a few months ago.
Our son has had a few different setups, and they'd become surplus to requirements.
Ain't it always the way??

Tried to fit some recovery points to the front of the GQ. Drivers side OK as there were captive nuts inside the chassis rail. Passenger side has holes where you have to insert nut plates with wire welded on them into the chassis rail and bolt it up from there. Needed 5 hands to hold everything and prayed to the good lord of 4wd to get it all lined up but to no avail. Gave up and will wait till I can get someone to help.
Got 50% done though.  :cup:  Stubby half full today, not half empty. Sorry, now empty. Go get anudder.
