Great thread, I'm rolling in my old Man's 80 as well. Similar story as he bought it new and drove it until he couldn't anymore, lots of great memories. Mom was going to have it towed away and I sent a truck for it. I've got about 4 years with...
Checking to see if this guy wants to do anymore. This was a one-off kind of deal that wasn’t cheap and took a while. Not sure if he wants to do anymore. Will let you know.
It drove the car for about 3 days..... and then a dude pulled out in front of me and I smashed into his car😋.
Insurance found him to be at fault which is nice and nobody was hurt. So as bad as it was... it was pretty good.

So that gets me up to current time. 9 months.
Thats a long time and I appreciate how patient Brendan has been. My next two were scheduled to leave the west coast of Saudi on the 15th but Iran decided to lob missles all over the Persian Gulf so...
If you've ever done a build like this yourself, you'll realize how it's worth every dime. Particularly when it is obvious there's love for the vehicles involved, not just profit.
Drove from Denver to Moab yesterday. I was following our trailer that's loaded for Cruise Moab so we were only doing 65ish over the big passes but I backed off on one of the strait aways to put some distance between myself and the trailer as we...
I dont think that I’ve seen any threads about this here, so I figured I’d show off my new seats. I’ve been looking for poverty pack seats for at least two years to no avail. Having reached out to importers in Japan, Aus, the Middle East and even...
Still just doing my 70mi daily commute, truck is doing great. Took a small break and ran up to Spokane/Coeur d’Alene for a ve-pump motor. Decided to stop in Pendleton for a burger and a beer…one of my last decent burgers and beers until after...
Rosie is on the move! Went for a test drive around the block. Motor sounds good, thank you @Fj80oregon for supplying that! In the break in process so we are not flogging it but she moves really well even with moderate throttle. Love how well the...
Roof got a Second Skin sound deadening/ heat insulation pad installed today.
Amp is wired, sub is wired, speaker wire ran to all four doors and more done as well. Such as Unichip mounted here,

I expected broken springs or something out of wack. I found some leakage. Looks like it’s time to rebuild that rear axle.
I think that explains the sticking.
Cleaned...
