Turning Point

Today has been a long time coming.
A great day for all man kind!
A corner was turned.
Yes folks you guessed it...

BAH-BAH-BAHAHAAAAAH...

Project Grover Rover has commenced the rebuild!!

YIIPP-YIPPY-DOO-DIDDLY-DEEE-DAH!!! =D

With the combined brain power of Dodgy Dan, Bush
Tucker Dad, and Oober Nerd himself, today were
going to build a Grover!

With a couple of death knots hanging the chassis from a water pipe, we had Grovers ass in the air ready to recieve springs.



"Permission to scratch Grover" shouts Dan, holding a large hammer. We knew what needed to happen... I Nodded.... *WHUMP*WHUMP*WHUMP* And the springs were driven home.



After a short debate over which bolt goes where, air tools drove them home.

Lifting the engine was a breeze with the Lever Hoist I splurged on.
If only the garage was taller.
We couldn't quite lift the engine high enough.
So, with a rug over the chassis, we man handled the engine in place.

*S-C-R-A-A-A-T-C-C-C-H*

=( Oh well, had to happen eventually.



The next few hours were filled with me searching the garage for bolts and washers but in the end, Grover is finally a rolling chassis once more. Thanks Dan, Yer a bloody legend!! =D
