Great.
I will figure out some time to come up to your place and see if that works for you. We both have lots going on right now.
Thanks again, for looking at this stained glass piece.

Tonight Leon finally caught the critter that did this to our A/C-heater blower. It also had a nest in the air filter intake. Not fun. That's guinea pig bedding and burlap. The bedding is form the far side of our shed. No idea where the burlap is from. This is my daily driver and kid mover, and sits in the garage overnight. Crazy.
Dropped in a new Odyssey AGM battery in my 80. 24F. Odyssey uses pure lead , rugged build. Have one in my truck , is still going strong at 8 years old.
The NEW CLUB MASCOT??????

I do not want to have to catch him again to bring to events. He doesn't walk on a leash very well.

I hate to admit but it took me over a year to rebuild this simple PS pump! 
Somewhere around a year ago, I picked up a spare PS pump from somebody, can't recall who and started the rebuild process. Apparently, I did everything but the bearing so I had to order the perfect Japanese bearing from who knows where. I got the bearing and set it next to the project and then forgot about it! The whole shebang was inside a plastic bag, buried under some shop rags with my combination square still set to the exact depth of the drive sprocket. Every time I needed this square, I'd find it on the bench pre-set to this depth and I dare not touch it while vowed to return to this project. Apparently, I'm an awesome procrastinator, as you can tell 
Yesterday, after doing some outdoor projects, attending the monthly REI garage sale, having breakfast at the Daily Grind, and a sick daughter stuck inside the house, I simply ran out of excuses. That and I REALLY need to get my shop bench space back. I was so lazy that I actually setup my camping table for working on other projects. I'm so ashamed......
So, I'm thinking of installing this bad boy into the 80 today since it'll be a nice day and I can't go skiing with Isabelle If I don't, y'all better shame the hell out of me.

Hey Ali, I need to do all of this on my 4th gen. It's at 191k. Thanks for the writeup. I'm going to have questions for you in a few months when I go to do it!

Last night I dismantled the grill and found a lot of the plastic had broken off. Used JB Weld plastic bonder to support all of the components that hold the plastic to the metal grill housing. Grill is a lot more secure, and I plasti dipped the emblem while I was down there.
This was a nice break from the driveline I had been working on the past few weeks. It was also good prep for the wire mesh grill mod I plan to do this summer.

Adding on to this:
All day Sunday Danny and I worked on rewiring his electrical. His battery got thrown aound on the Puerco ride and ripped everything up. I had an extra battery strap in the garage. Had to rerun a ground to the chassis.
Stripped, terminated, and heatshrinked everything down nice and clean: radios, pod lights, subwoofer...poor dude thought he was going to have an electrical fire. I walked him through using a multimeter to check for voltage and continuity, and how to test a relay.
He pulled off the brake light housing and fixed it too. Zip tied everything else and cleaned all the weather seals. He also showed me how to run cable through the firewall and I got my
CBhardwired in to listen to the NOAA broadcast.
Quote of the day - "I like fixing things the right way. Doing this makes me nicer to people."
Cheers

I finally got my firewall and bottom side of the tub cleaned and painted. The first 3 layers of paint have Hytech ceramic microspheres added and the top layer is aluminum metallic to reflect the IR radiation. Should hopefully take the edge off in the summer, it's pretty bad when the roll cage is too hot to rest your leg against at a couple of hours driving. Now back to the original task of installing in the NV4500/Splitcase!
Insulating Paint Additive Makes Paint Insulate
Insulating additive for paint makes your paint insulate. HY-TECH ceramic insulating paint additive is an easy to use powdered paint additive that mixes into any paint and makes that paint a radiant heat barrier. Stay cooler in summer, warmer in winter with and reduce your heating and cooling bills.
