Lets see Chris has got the drive-shaft cut down and re welded. Put the springs in the rear of the rig. Mounted the reverse light. welded 58 body tabs, and also finished up some welding on the under side of the rig. Formed the cowl. Got the clutch brake an the pedals mounted and the brake booster/clutch slave cylinder mounted to the fire wall. And I believe Chris got all of the cage welded up.

A mountain of old wiring harness laying in the floor, a new painless harness coming alive
Battery tray installed
wiring well under way, wires run to the rear, tucked up, out of the way.
All Gauges in, and wired
Switch box in center, beside rear disconnect, with starter switch, rock light switch, and winch controls ready for wire.

We got most of the panels cut/installed. Chris got all the wiring tucked up out of the way underneath the chassis. Painted the shocks, springs, and the rear drive shaft. Hans got more of the mess of wires gone threw and was able to start the yoda. First time heard it start in a few months.

Quick update Hans got all the wiring done. steering is done it starts and is now loaded on Chris Ellis'es trailer to get a new exhaust put on tomorrow.

Well after the Vertans day ride found out i have some issues due to it sitting for over a year. Think Chris had figured out my ignition issue and we think it needs a new coil and ignitor. And going to need to get a new front drive shaft made.

 

[stinkbomb]

Whatever happened to this?

 

[josh$$]

Had to sell it to try and buy a house it still lives in NC and ive been told it is has hit the URE trails often
