POR 15 undercoated my rear frame. Lay'd it out on the floor so I can roll it out tomorrow and work on the front.

 

Got my W58 shifter position figured out... Just need to find the speedo piece that rides on the drive gear...

 

Still in pieces but...

Today I took my truck in to get smogged. It passed with flying colors! Woohoo!

 

Today I removed some old stickers and put on some new ones, got them from Drop Em' Wear and a new t-shirt the other day.

 

Drove it to work for the third day in a row, gonna fix my dimmer switch issue on my lunch. probably gonna tear out the crappy speakers in the doors too. I would swap the door panels I got on but I didn't bring 'em.

 

drove into work, (panel shop, smash repairs) and done some body work. Smoothed old mirror mounts after welding up holes, and repaired massive old repair under LH rear window.

 

Put my new tags on the 82 and drove it to work today... Vrooom Vroooom!

 

how's it feel to drive

 

Feels good! Once a week just to warm it up...

I think i'm getting too comfy driving my 90 + slushbox tho!

 

Leaving for a show in 5 mins.
Should be a great drive out into the valley!

 

I was sitting in the carpark at hungry jacks and a lolux rolled througg the carpark, driver saw my lolux in progress, and lay his out behind me. Damn i was jealous. made my night though. I want bags already!?

 

did you invite him to TM?!

 

pulled it in the driveway and tinkered with it, i shouldnt have i noticed its burning oil

thinking about taking the wheels off the rav4 though

 

finished the truck....the mechanical stuff anyway. ended having to replace, timing chain set, cleaned oil pan and pickup screen, installed new oil pan gasket and had to replace the thermostat. i hate fixing previous owner's lack of maintainence. but it runs pretty good now. just need to adjust the timing.

 

...went to another local show yesterday. Had a blast! No trophies, but everyone loved the stereo. I just show it off to show the progress anyways, and the proceeds went for a good cause.

 

Had church so no time to work on the girl but did manage to clean the garage out and sip on some cold ones will watching some football baby.

 

dropped the exhaust to fix the hanger (some parking lot bump broke it), so i got that fixed

made a new ornament to hang in the rear of my truck. i welded up a heart, painted it white.

 

also, i found out what is holding me back when my truck hits a bump.


the crossmember that's above the axle is hitting the pumpkin

 

'invited him to TM'? Eh?
On sunday i played around with the rear seats. I want twin subs but its handy having the little seats in there rear. So i moved them over 2inchs, still gotta make up new brackets cut 1.5 inch off them, and now there is14inchs between the rear seats. I can fit 12subs there. Where to mount the monoblock and 4channel, i dunno.

 

12 subs in the truck?!



I forgot to mention when i dropped my exhaust last night, i decided to peek in the cat, and apparently a huge chunk of catalytic converter was sitting there sideways obstructing flow. it was a big piece.
