Awesome house and shop!! Congrats!!

Got the plugs done, just need to assemble everything back together. Been struggling a lot to get it done.

 

[greenseaman]

Sounds good!

I replaced the brake booster on the 40 tonight. What a difference.
It's aftermarket, so it took a little finess to install. I'll probably take it for a spin again tomorrow. It's so cool to not have to stand on the brakes to stop.
I should have done this sooner.
Almost ready for Relic, now.

 

[greenseaman]

Yay!!!

I got the mirrors and the bumper (thanks @CharlestonG8R ) on the Chick'n.
I had to drill out several bolts. To be expected, though. The mirrors I believe came from CCOT. I've had them for a couple of years.
The winch is next.
Since @scott johnson won a new one at GSMTR last year, I got the almost new one I gave him for Christmas '19 from his 40

Mounted the winch.
Looking for a good spot to mount the Auxbeam lights I won at GSMTR.
They are huge.

Painted the rear bumper.
Nice and shiny now

Getting the 62 ready for GSMTR, I replaced a rear unit joint, rear brakes, fixed the tailpipe (again), but cut it off so its not under the bumper. Checked and filled all of the fluids, charged the a/c, installed new front seat covers, put the passenger door speaker back in (it fell out wheeling 2 years ago) some other small things I can't remember....it's ready for some rocks!!!

After having three tires go bad or blow on the 62 to/from GSMTR, I finally bought a set.
Cooper Evolution 35/12.50/15.
4 mounted and balanced for just over $700.00. They were on Discount Tire for $164.00 ea. They are more $$ now.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Dbenke buying tires? Whoa, lol

 

[dbenke]

I know, right?

 

[greenseaman]

That’s a great deal!! They look good!

Man this thread has been quiet…. I bought a 4x4 sheet of aluminum, cut a quadrant out, had some tabs welded back under and then mounted a hinge using rivets. Had it Line-Xd and color matched to the interior for durability. Mounted it over the weekend - finally - to be ready for the Relic Run. I also installed the ARB Fridge slide & the 12V aux plug, so I can keep ‘lunch’ cool while were traveling. The hinged lid allows improved access to gear, and I can store other ‘soft gear’ under the fridge. All securely bolted to stay in place.

 

[greenseaman]

Very nice sir! Can’t wait to see you and the rest of the crew at Relic Run!

 

[BBQ BOY]

Looks good. When is the relic run and where?
