My "new" 1993 project/daily driver! :D

[bmoeller]

Not much done today. Just replaced a few light bulbs and got the old decals off of the doors. Pulled the front wheels and cleaned behind them as well. No where near as bad as the rears were. Front brakes looked good.

Lost the headlights last night. Had to use the 4 ways to have enough light to get me another 10 miles down the road to a wayside park and go to sleep til the sun came up. Was still in WI when that happened, so I wound up being late to work. Markers and dash lights still work, and the high beams do, IF, you use the flash to pass function on the multifunction switch. Head light switch never has felt "right", and neither does the multifunction switch. Probably replace both anyways to be safe.

Tater came over today and helped swapping the Kelderman off of the 92 and onto the 93. Has been an interesting day. Will have some pics up before long. Still need to reinstall the tail pipe and see what hits, if it does. Could be close.

Bryan, can I STILL call it a POS?
Glad you're enjoying working on it and that something stupid hasn't cropped up on it.

Mark.

It is looking better. Should've seen the pile of dirt on the floor, from working under there. All the way to the front as well. The impact guns and air chisel sure knocked a lot more loose.

More pics have been added. Have some of the W250 and W350.

Removing the stock spring mounts, to install the Kelderman, from the W350 sure sucked!

Got the new master cylinder and brake booster on. The first m/c they gave me, was in the right box, BUT, the wrong one inside of it.

Pulled the left rear drum off for a leaky seal, and found all sorts of "fun" in there........ Not to mention, the wheel wasn't far from coming off on its own. The keeper for the nylok nut was no where to be found, and the nut was backing off (no doubt it has been causing some of my vibrations in the rear end). Threads on spindle and bearing OK, but nut is junk. Adjuster isn't where is supposed to be. Was jammed up (vertically) into the bottom shoe. Has rolled around in there long enough to render it useless. Teeth polished off, so it can't be adjusted at all. Needless to say, that isn't in the hardware kit I picked up......

Have the front aluminum wheels polished up, and installed. Tires that are on those rims are still good enough to run for a while. The ones that were on the truck are getting bad (cracks and damaged lugs on tires causing vibrations). Grease in the front hubs looked really nice yet, so I left them alone for now. Bearings haven't any play at all. Need to polish the rear rims yet. Hope I can get the rear back together tomorrow, so I can go to WI for the weekend!

Got more pics up! Wanna guess what my gauge mount is? Still need to order the tach yet, for the other hole.

Baking pan.

[bmoeller]

Yep! Bread pan.

[Mark Nixon]

Yep! Bread pan.

Back a couple decades ago I spied one of Ma's 8 quart stainless pots and I was into the "no hood, LOTS of chrome on the engine" kick, so a '66 Valiant 2 door post was sporting an 8 quart pot as an un-silenced air cleaner.
It didn't go over well with Ma', though.

I was also the one and only person in this area who ever put a tunnel ram on a 1971 Town & Country Chrysler station wagon.
It had a hood, though

Oh, the bygone days.

Mark.

[bmoeller]

Nice!

I made one earlier, and put it in the KW. Have fuel pressure and fuel temp in that one. $6 vs $30+ for a prefab piece of plastic. No brainer! Used "Hammered" black paint on it. Til the new body is put on, it'll probably just be resting on the dash, or use Velcro. Will be using this dash and interior in the the donor. don't care for the spice/tan color. Shows all the dirt too.

[Mark Nixon]

Bryan!
Meant to ask before this, but did you ever get the passenger's side door to open?

Mark.

[bmoeller]

Nope! Haven't messed with it yet.
