    I've been recovering from covid-19, but today was the first day I felt like trying to do anything. So I sanded off all the rust on the fuel tank and primed it.

    Life has been crazy lately. I work for a hospital and we've been dealing with Coronavirus. Not only that, but we've had to lay off 1080 employees and cut hours for 1800 more. So my May has been turbulent to say the least. I did finally get the intercom working and went out for a drive with...

    I've been cleaning out the fuel tank with muratic acid to remove the rust. Well found 11 holes in the tank. Guess I'll be braising it up tomorrow!

    Fluid flywheel was topped off before I even drove it. The transmission oil has been changed too. I'll be checking it again in a bit though. Need to finish the fuel tank cleanout to get that back in place. The makeshift boat fuel tank blocks the FF check point. I started throwing in a VIC-1...

    I changed the oil today. (No telling how old the oil was that was in it.) Luckily nothing in the filter. I also converted to a spin on filter.

    Went for a drive today. Man I think I've enjoyed driving this thing more than any other MV I've owned. Have a few little things to tend with, the LED for the main switch has stopped working. I'm guessing the 24v rating is not really 24v! I've got more switches on order. I'm going to add a...

    Just their universal one. It's had the switches swapped out for the most part with LED ones though as the originals are only rated for 16v.

    Got a little more work today. (Great outlet to get away from a computer screen during these times!) I installed a boat fuel tank inside the hull out of some scrap angle I had laying around. Prior to that, I had just a gas tank strapped to the rear fender. Getting closer to having the carb...

    Work is hectic now with us trying to bring on more beds for the covid 19 pandemic. I've been tinkering with it some in the evenings and today I was off for the first time in a few weeks. I've installed a painless wiring universal harness and panel along with some gauges. All the external wiring...

    Got the ratty wiring for the lights removed. Replaced it all with some silver clad wire I removed from a AM transmitter. Replacing everything to LEDs. Used packard connectors as well.

    The mk1 is only rated for .30 cal. Later variants have thicker armor. Not that I plan on testing it. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    This month has been a roller coaster. Work has been busy. Stuff with the kids. Right now is the Georgia Rally that Clint Copeland hosts. Then there was the scare with Jack (puppy got into rat posion) yesterday. Today I've been trying to pull off a miracle with my trailer, but a wrong part...
