8ft breaker bar on this turd and it won’t break loose.
Time to replace it.

New visors. Went with some from an early 2000's Lincoln Continental from my local wreckers. Had to drill a few holes to make it work - but for $20 an an hours work it's nice to have functioning visors again. Bonus points for a perfect color match and the double visor function!
Pretty old school erg, haven't used one like that in a while. I know it used to be a thing back in the day to add food coloring to the water. Haha.
I am thinking about upgrading the Master Cylinder and Brake Booster on my 91FJ80. Anyone here have experience in that department? Looks like I might be able to swap in the booster and master from a T100?
What's is it?
Water rowing machine, in beautiful black walnut.
That's too funny! After rowing for 10yrs through school, I've never used one of the water ones. Just bought a concept off of craigslist for myself as well. The forecast calls for pain! Enjoy!!
Yeah, most of the schools use the Concept. The Concept was on my Amazon list while I was searching for a used water one with this wood. Two years of searching later, found it and saved over a grand new. Easy storage and looks great. Some smaller personal style gyms will carry them, you should try one.

Cranked over, no start. Checked fuel pressure, okay. Fusible link, okay. No spark from coil. Towed it home. Tried a new igniter, fired right up. Now it runs perfect, but I have no tach reading on the instrument cluster.
NM. Finally read the rest of the way......
It's cool to see there are other rowers here! I have been rowing for just over 2 years and absolutely love it. I rowed in rodneys and dories as a kid in Newfoundland but that's not even close to sculling. Best exercise going IMOP for an aging person, full body and very low impact.

Awesome! Where did you get the seat covers? Did a local shop do the install?
Spector Off Road make reman bottom covers for the early cloth 80's. Made from second and third row covers with new vinyl. They are well made but very expensive. They look great and sit very nice with the new foam inserts. $420 per side. OUCH!

Yeah, ouch! Seems in most cases, though, the drivers side is all that needs it. Amazing how the cloth holds up. Been thinking of replacing my drivers side foam
