Car repairs Australia Day

Have to go to work today, and it’s a long day but I do manage to get the guard & panel welded. A cash job for $ 100. Tuesday is Australia Day and I’m working on the car again, I glue up the gear lever cover with the one I got from Palmerston 4 x 4 and also glue the floor mat. The guys at Cole motors didn’t fit the gear box/lever casing properly and so I fix this so there is no more gearbox noise entering the car. Next job is to get the new sound deadening and lay the floor vinyl back over the top. It goes fairly smoothly and apart from a couple of broken seat bolts it would have been quite any easy job.
The triple JJJ hottest 100 is on so I have some nice music to listen too.
Tina is in Wallaroo laying concrete for Carol and can’t get reception there.
It’s a long day with many little jobs done. The cricket is on from Adelaide so I watch this as well. I bought a new car battery, the one in there was the original one when we got the car, exactly 2 years ago today and I thought it would lucky to get us home from Heathcote. So in it goes with a painted up bracket. You can paint anything once you have a tin. On Australia Day in Darwin they have a Ute run and everyone gets in their Ute put up Aussie Flags (made in China of course) and drive down the highway, it’s the most amount of Bogans and Rednecks I’ve ever seen.
