OK, I should have done a bit of dusting before I snapped the pictures, but who cares about a little dash-dust?!
My $45 two-year new membership is in the pipeline. Look for XJ Dreamin' to go red-name soon.
As it turns out, the pending year of upgrades and mods (http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=45201) have been superceded by a leaking L/R wheel cylinder. Perhaps I should just start the year with a disc conversion? We'll see. Priority is to get the brakes working ASAP.
A buddy informed me just the other day that he has aquired a 110amp plug-in stick welder. I'm going to pull the passenger seat today and see how much stick and plate it takes to fix those bastards. I'll drive around without a passenger seat while I use it to figure out the best fix for the drivers seat. Also, there is some rust-through near the toekick of the passenger floor pan.
My buddy works TDCJ, 4-on/4-off, so it'll be easy to schedule work days. OTOH, he and his wife just adopted three kids at once, so his time isn't going to be as free as he's been used to. :rattle: x3! Crazy!
Question: What alloy stick would you use for those tube seat frames and the seat pan? I haven't seen the welder yet but he's sayin' it's 110 amp. I grew up using my Dad's old Lincoln. I suppose it'll take a bit of practice to work with limited juice. Anyway, I'll take lots of pictures.
Here's looking forward to not having to type my signature every frikkin' time I want to talk to you guys.
