SteveT Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Well, I managed to blast and zinc dust the front end last weekend. Just got to do some minor repairs to the front of the floors, bung the 2 halves together, panel it up and then weld it together. At last......progress!!

oldtuckunder Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Remember it is just another piece of cheap Chinese manufacturing, its just you were tricked by Apple into paying a lot of money for it! Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Company pays for iPhone - I’s much too mean! And would have android if my choice. Physical build quality is fine though, it’s the software and company attitude that gripes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveT Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Had it done on the 16th so it’s still hugely swollen & bruised. Needed doing though. The consultant compared the old joint to a wonky vegetable....you know how it should look, but it was nothing like. Smashed my knee up 30 years ago so it hasn’t done too badly.

Nick Jones Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Ah. A mate had major knee surgery a few years ago and it looked remarkably like a large Cornish pasty for quite some time with a startling colour change over time ranging from purple and black, fading to yellows and greens, eventually returning to something like flesh. My best wishes for a speedy recovery and successful outcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveT Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Thanks Nick, yes I’m currently at the burnt pasty stage. But, the new joint is in there so hopefully it’ll all come good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Does it come with a nipple so you can keep it greased for extended service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveT Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 Could do with something there so I could squirt some pain killers in!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Yeah...... I’ve heard it tends to be rather painful Single malt taken orally helps apparently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
