What are you doing to your rig - the continuing saga

Well, I've been working on Project Nikdot some, mainly working on repairing damage.

What I started out with:

Where I'm currently at:

A little BFH and Torch to start getting things massaged back out:

Next step is an Air Hammer with a smoothing hammer attachment (with some help from a torch). From there, I've got one of Sam's donor Jeeps at my place I'll get the floorboard section from. Going to get some frame stiffeners just to make everything that much stronger.

As well, getting wiring finally wrapped up on the buggy:

~1 month until ColoradoFest! I've got a LOT of work to do!

Luckily other than the floor getting fixed, and then the interior put back together...there's one day's worth of work on Project Nikdot before she should be road worthy.

Success with condenser number FOUR.

#1 Amazon - Junk, took a cutoff wheel to the liquid line to get it out
#2 Advance - leaked vacuum
#3 O'Reilly's - connects wouldn't work
#4 Advance - worked after a little work on one of the lines

Now blows 33-36F in the garage!!!

I need a 3rd Jeep just to make a buggy!

New oil pan, gasket, rear main seal. If it still leaks like it has been, it's new engine time.

 

[Fred]

New engine time.

 

[Starboard M]

New engine time.

Stock Replacement?
Stroker?
Stroker and turbo?
LS?
LS and turbo?
Diesel?
Fred Flintstone it?

 

[Fred]

There are no jeep problems that cannot be solved by the proper placement of explosives.

 

[Fred]

Or I could just keep driving it, and eventually all the oil being pissed out will catch on fire and burn the POS up.

Yeah, I'm a bit discouraged. Sniff, sniff.

 

[eflores]

Come get your block and get it torn down

 

[Fred]

Sure, I'll just pick that up and throw it in the back of the jeep that's burning up.

 

[Hypoid]

Long as the engine has oil, its only the head pipe burning off. Just think how easy it will be to work outdoors without mosquitoes swarming around...

 

[Fred]

It's hitting the header, and there is enough oil under there, that I think it is a possibility. You should see the smoke, nobody tailgates me.

 

[eflores]
