Hello.
I'm having a small issue I'm hoping my U.K. roommates can help me with.
I'm "hot rodding" a classic Toyota KP61.
One of the many modifications I'm doing is getting rid of the huge, plastic American market bumpers and installing bumpers from the Asian, European cars.
I found a front.....In Malaysia.
I also found rear brackets. But no bumper. They are HIGHLY sought after here in America. And there are none to be had at any price.
Does anyone in the U.K. know of a wrecker yard (breaker?) That specializes in Japanese cars? I know the shipping will be high. But I want a rear JDM type bumper.
Rusty and bent is fine.
The U.K should have loads of them I'm thinking.
(I found the brackets on Ebay UK)
Will Google it Ed, to see what comes up in my area.

He was a stray and he’s skinny! The vet would like him to gain 1-2lbs.

I really think he was abused. He is head shy when you go into pet him, but loves to be pet. He tip toes to you but freezes when approached. He’s improved a lot in a week.
I’m on a mission to turn him around but also know the lasting effects will always be there.

He’s content sleeping and today he started actually running around the house but as soon as he sees me he runs away and back on the sofa.
Poor thing.
Sounds like he was a scared little pooch in his past homes.
I'm sure your patience will pay off eventually.

G’day alles..

Yet another very hot, sticky, humid start to the day here. Heat Index supposed to be 107 ish today on the East Coast...record breaking yuckiness. Calling for “Dangerous Heat Levels” - even too hot to be out kayaking.

Late breaking news on “illegal” turtle and tort breeding program uncovered on Majorca....

That is shocking!
I hope they manage to help all those poor creatures.

Evening all - I'm a bit late popping in.
Weather has been lovely today sunny but not too hot.
Went for a lovely forest walk with a few friends and dogs.
Was in the valley next to the one that was burnt last month.
It was sad to see the logging trucks passing with all the burnt trees that had to be felled .
The have to make it safe for the mountain bikers and walkers who use the area and so that they can start re planting with native trees.
Hope you are all well and having a good Weds.
Not see you tomorrow!
Nos Da.

Good afternoon my friends!! Today I worked with a customer that pumps oil in one of the last remaining fire-flood zones in the US.. he is a long time customer & a friend... ANYWAY, he pointed out a large tree on the property that was HEAVY with fruit. He said the deer work it over. It was a min pear tree ( my name, not scientific) the pears were the size of figs! He told me that in the winter I could transplant some of the smaller ones because it populates quickly.. the main tree is huge.. I’m so excited (even though I’ll probably kill it) lol..
Just doesn’t take much for me[emoji6]

Wishing you all a pleasant evening!
