I know they are you can see it.......... I was poking fun at you cause your car is all tore apart and covered in dust & primer and you were worried about replacing plugs wires and looms.

I sort of wanted to do that b4 I painted the car.....that way we arent leaning over it.

[Gottork]

nope

We just got back from Silver Lake. We were all playing in the sand!
Had to fix this 1st.

My nephew wanted to fly. Yeah Jeeps can't fly. But it landed well enough to break the front axel in half.

I'll be going over there tonight to get things ready and getting everything in line.

So I hope we work on it till its finished now.
We were putting it off trying to get ready for Silver Lake.
Now that were home, I hope if moves a little faster.

But oyu had fun doing it, thats what counts Todd.. glad to hear no one was hurt and the damage is repairable..

[tenpin842]

Sorry guys, its a weekend project and an after hours thing.

My brother in law iS trying to fit it in when he can.

He makes a living doing body work and repairs. How can I tell him.
"Your not making any money on my car, I want to take up your space and I want it done now"

I can't do this all by myself, theres things I don't know how to do.

I can't take things out of his shop that are making him money for his bills and his family and expect my car to get done in a timely manner.


You can imagine how eagar I am to be dirving it again.

BUT....the stress cracks were welded, filled, sanded and primered.
The dent we found on the upper windshield post was filled, sanded and primered.
The upper half of the car, (from the body line), up was blocked out.
I was told it might be in color by the weekend.
But I'm not getting my hopes up just yet.
Time will tell.

[tenpin842]

Blocked the whole car, and the hood So its ready to paint.



Rear hatch is off.



Fixed a small dent on top windshield frame.



Welded shut 2 stress cracks we found, Little bondo and then primered it.



re alligned the doors to make sure they were all straight sense I'm not putting the molding back on.



Bryan said it might be in color by the weekend.
We have to put the poppers in the doors yet and then we can jam the car.
