Got a new toy this weekend. filled it with glass bead which seems to strip through the gunk a bit quicker than sand. Ineed to go through and silicon up all the joints so it doesn't leak out.




I had this scrap from my spring replacement project and wanted to test it out.

I yanked my front left spring bracket off redrilled it for the larger ubolts blasted, primed,painted it and got it back on.

Got the springs all done and wheels painted up. Got quite a lift from the new springs.. still looks a bit funny from the back with the skinny tires. gotta work on getting the old paint off next while I wait for a few new lights to show up.

Springs and Shocks

Had visitors in town this weekend and they needed something to do so we ripped the fronte end off the rover, put in new springs and shocks. Raised the rover 2-3 inches.

Wheels/Tires



Finally getting some time to work on the rover again. I pulled the front wheels off wirebrushed all the paint off then blasted them (thanks to Arne) so i could get a clean surface to paint.

Here are the fronts all done.

ebay rocks



Sometimes lowball bids on ebay come through. picked up what they say is a rare(isn't everything for sale on ebay rare?) body piece to block the sun.


Doesn't look too bad. I'll have to sand it down this weekend
