gears and shafts finished up both ends, painted.

rolled the dice on ebay drive slugs @24$ each, they look great, and fit great.  burned up some caps with some spacers.  quick fun project.

first diff cover bent up on nicks brake, test fit, half welded.  will final weld the ring while bolted to housing.  need to grab more 5/16" plate this week or just make a 3/16" one for rear. 

rolling along!

Closing 6/1 for 360k
Had 17 offers

His assessment had gone from 160 to 260 in this reassessment round while mine went from 270 to 400

Those prices with current interest rates combined especially with ny taxes make my eyes water. Thats gotta be a 3500 payment.

brake lines mostly run. ordered another roll of braded hose. was short. 
hopefully the 250$+ i have spent total on hose and fittings is not a big fail and they hold pressure.   ordered twice and then more, big fail trying to be cheap ha. 

probably on to gears / shafts tomorrow while waiting for some ods and ends parts.  i think diff covers are the only thing i need to settle on making or buying. 


floor and roof tins ect, winch.
