Paintless dent removal done on the ute today. Smoothen out 14yrs of shopping trolley dings and the creased bonnet. Got the headliner re-done in black at the same time, but the bloke knocked off early for the long weekend, so I'll be doing the next 1000km without half my interior. Some sort of paint correction next, probably ceramic coat and see what can be done about stone chips. Retiring the Turbo from work duties soon so I wanna get everything tidied up while it's still tax-claimable. Sent from my SM-S911B using Tapatalk

Atomic Anchorlox. I've been through a bucket of nuts, nylocks, high tensile nuts, even nordlock washers on my turbo manifold. Finally paid up for the Anchorlox so they never come loose again. Sent from my SM-S911B using Tapatalk

Cheers Puff! If that's the case I'm pretty sure Joe will keep her strapped down no problem. Sent from my SM-S911B using Tapatalk

Heading back to my tuner to step up the power level soon and wondering at what point tyre selection is going to give the dyno man a hard time or affect results? Aiming for 400kw, I have a set of taller 17" 225 LT Van tyres (daily work horse with 800kg loaded tool canopy) and Nankang 245 Semi's on the factory 19"s. Neither I'm assuming would be optimal on a chassie dyno? Or there's the old dinged up 19"s with 10% tread trailer tyres. [emoji28]

I'm with you in that they are a bit messy looking. Don't have oil pooling in the intake manifold any more though. No smells. They definitely work. Sent from my SM-G781B using Tapatalk

First propper clean since christmas. Clay bar, decontamination, paint cleanse, wax, sealant, interior detail. New headlights. She's lookin pretty again! [emoji7] Thinking I'll dig up some old threads on blacking out the beige trims soon. Headliner has started delaminating. Sent from my SM-G781B using Tapatalk

From memory, the factory cat and dump are the restrictions, so you can basically do whatever you want with the rest of the exhaust without needing a tune. Sent from my SM-G781B using Tapatalk

I can always nit pick myself on what I'd do different next time, but realistically, Im very happy with how everything came out. Still looks like a 60's fibro shack from the outside, but that's a project for another year. Back to turbo things for a little while. And maybe a couple of weekends off if I'm lucky.

The ute, along with many other things, have been completely neglected the last 12 months. Decided to finally do 'a little fix up' to my first home. Had been fixing bits and pieces around, under & behind the house over the years, but I bumped the send button this time. Within the span of 2 weeks, plan went from a cheap, simple bathroom Re-do & replace the kitchen cabinets. - To ripping half my house out, moving walls and an entire interior fix up. Done basically everything myself except for the tiling. Still the last 10% to do; finish flooring, splashbacks, kitchen pannels & shelving, laundry bifold doors ect. But family member needed secure housing so I limiter bashed the last month to get it habitable for them. Can plod along with the rest whenever. Also included the entirety of my architectural drawing (singular) to show just how organised I am. Smash first - plan later! Sent from my SM-G781B using Tapatalk

My motherboard came with auto overclocking software. So I hit the go fast button and left it at that.

Yea I say I want to change it out but not sure how I feel about such a decision yet. Built it as a apprentice. Has space inside for a massive water cooling loop that I never bothered doing. [emoji1787] yea that's an old photo, desk hasn't been that neat in yrs in yrs lol. Have a 144hrtz 1440p G-sync 27" ROG monitor now.

I7 4770k. Has sat at 4.1GHz it's whole life. I still need to turn down setting for decent fps at 1440p and my 3080 never gets 100% utilisation. It would have paired well up to about a 3060 I reckon.

Tore down my very first PC (2011 build) a couple weeks ago. And just like a project car, has been sitting on the floor in pieces since. The soft touch finish they used on cases back in the day goes super nasty after a couple years, sticky crap everywhere! Using its parts to mock up a new custom case build in an ammo box. Upgraded my current (2013 build) desk PC with a 3080 hybrid last year but the CPU just ain't cutting the mustard anymore. And I'm kinda over the bulky big desk now anyway.

Last day of isolation. Was finally able to do the iso project I bought early 2020. Gramps looking classy with the restored and polished 5 poster. Just need a set of 9" spotties and a uhf aerial that's not connected to anything to finish the look. Work truck got the full Bowdens paint cleanse, wax, sealant and interior detail.

Late night scrolled accross this thread so here's a little contribution from myself. Little PC build I did for the GF 2 yrs ago out of the Fallout 4 special edition pip-boy case.
