Re: What did you get done 11/22/2009 edition
I had an awesome weekend! Drove the Heap across the state to visit my brother and sister in law. On the way back I stopped in Charlottesville Va and met fellow board member "Sluggish" (Will) for a burger, fries, coke and some bench racing.
Will and I decided that Charlottesville would be a great central location for a future meet of forum members. Well, members in the Va, NC, MD, W VA, PA region, and of course anyone else that wants to make the trip. Seriously, we could plan a spring '10 meet, nothing formal, just a casual weekend of fellowship and lots of bench racing.

Re: What did you get done 11/22/2009 edition
I only had one night off this weekend so I stayed on the third shift schedule and showed my '78 some love.
New parts: Temp sender, which i hope fixes the problem, wiring is good so I'll be hunting a gauge if it dosent Blower motor and wheel, should have changed this 5 yrs ago. 1 1/16" Swaybar with ECE frame brackets. I've had this for about 5 yrs. New to it black seatbelts had these for about 5 yrs too. Also did a oil change and service, but ran out of grease as I did the upper ball joints, so I'll have to finish the rest of that later. I cleaned up the underside of the engine as it has an oil leak, only when its running that I cant track down. It looks to be maybe a combo of the pass side valve cover and the timing cover. I was gonna drive it today, but the rain put a stop to that.

I cut up an 87 2wd and a 78 4x4 to make room at work for all the snow piles when they hopefully never come.

Re: What did you get done 11/22/2009 edition
Nothin, got 2"-3" of snow this morning. Wiped some snow off the cowl area (it was snowing sideways under the carport) and that was all I did to it all weekend. I think winter is here.

Re: What did you get done 11/22/2009 edition
Thanks and what Right hand drive parts do you have? I think I am going to use a steering box from an 88-98 since they bolt to the inside of the frame.
