      What wheels are those? I like them

      Over last weekend, I made a bikini top for my 88. This was on my "to do" list over the summer but did not get to it until now. Nice thing is we have sunny weather here in the Seattle area for a couple of weeks so I've actually been able to use it. It is intentionally short (only goes to the first hoop) so I can use it with the roof top tent mounted to the tub.

        That is sweet! Is it custom?

            Replaced the clutch m/c, slave and flex pipe on my LHD SIII. I believe the appropriate phrase is 'character building'.

            Master R&R was a bit of a PITA as expected.

              Ugh, don't say that. It's on my to do list! Clutch M/C is a must do this spring.

                Finally replaced the glass in my new window frame. I took pics of the process but for some reason, they are in a format that Mac doesn't recognize. Pictures I took with my iPhone by the way. Go figure

                    Finally got my "16mmx1.0 to 3/8" BSP" adapter re-welded and soldered so I can get my heating loop back in action. If anyone is looking for a great Radiator and ad-hoc Welding and Solder shop in Boston area, I had great luck with Natick Radiator. The owner took pride in his work, and really did a nice job getting these two different metals back together for me. It is great when you can find someone and a shop like this. No job was too small and happy to help. After a global hunt for a metric head heater offtake, I found one but also found out that the nipple was 1/2" and the Smith heater I have wants a 3/8" heater hose, and I did not find any 1/2" to 3/8" adapters out there, so back to restoring the original part that broke.

                      Welded in the new frame mounts a couple nights ago. Just needs the oil cooler assy, injectors & glowplugs, and the starter, and I should (fingers crossed) be able to fire her up for the first time.

ID:	168527 I have accomplished complete tear-down of Daisey! Hopefully putting her back together will be as much fun as taking her apart!

                          While not nearly as impressive as parrie's tear-down (wow!)...

                          I put Gracie's bikini on today... she's ready for summer fun now!

                              Changed out the clutch master cylinder. Thanks pitchrollyaw for the advice. 6 hours start to finish, with paint and clean up of the steering box cover, mud shield, and pedal tower.

                                Installed aft facing rear seat in my 88. I never felt comfortable with the kids sitting in the original seats. I used a YJ seat.
