He took an old scrap rod and inserted it from side to side then bent over the ends. That latch won't fall off again. We...

I'll bet your yard and she'd look much better now.

Had a Gen 2 light on, had to jump Nebulous and went to Autozone to have the 2 x 6-month old batteries checked out before I went further. Opened the hood and low/behold the front fan belt had broken and was wrapped around the fan. Got a new belt while I was there, tested the batteries anyway...

Thaks from here also; wife went by the local chevy place today and they quoted $17.72/ea plug. Holy Snails batman. That about right?

Trying to change glow plugs and believe I may have the wrong ones. Electric tip is wider.

You know what, that is not a bad idea CUCVRUS...not a bad idea at all.

CUCVRUS reading this blog I quickly ascertain you are an expert here. I hope to start my build soon; Friday I bought a 1986 1009 - going to be my Son and I project and we are green at this. Question is, both my front inner fenders are rusted with holes. Can I purchase new from LMC and bolt back...
