old carpet, old foam, leaks, used to be a hole in roof, etc  usually equates to a very stinky moldy interior.

Thank you Matt. I thought that might be the logic but wasn't sure.

Fuck, I suck at fiberglass. Not that this is easy. I should have figured out how to make a mold. And it still would have sucked.

Glad I found that Depot has materials at 30% the price
Of west marine. That’s for sure. I’m at 50% waste or so

While I had the materials out I did the box roof damage too. Old glass was all delaminates from the old roof, and tar over it was dried out and separating.

Don’t know how well this will stick but if it doesn’t I’ll just run fresh roof tar over it.

For some reason this one gave me a headache, but at the same time look like good time to install a sunroof to 'fix' it.

Starter failed after airing up tires yesterday. Wouldn’t start this morning to air up again.

Got it going after heat 2 with a jumper wire on the solenoid and a truck mechanic tapping on the motor. It would drive the bendix in but not spin.

Same failure mode after parking at home.

Starter is out, that was about an hour job or a bit more. Getting it back in will be super fun. It’s a force fit between block and frame rail. Size of a 2L pop bottle plus add a giant nose cone, and probably weighs 60-70#.

Unless Arie needs a challenge I’ll head to that place I got my alternator tomorrow, but they have one on the shelf.

Oh, and found this when I got home. No damage just a mess. Probably 7500 miles so far with it as it was and today apparently that tie down wasn’t enough. I did use the N2 this morning so I must have not gotten it back to its previous state of perfection.

It’s embarrassingly empty. Most things stay on the cart since I don’t have 3 full tool sets yet for home truck and buggy. Gradually working on that.
