Getting off work in a few mins. Going home to make some more room in the garage so I can start dropping the trans in preparation of next weekend. Again the members on this site are the best. Regulator will be driving out a new trans for me that he is gunna be rebuilding this week. I owe so many members on this site a debt that I can never repay.
Then probably destroying more of the old deck before relaxing for the night with a few beers.

Helped my dad redo the entire main drain of their house. What. A. Mess.
Good news, it is all finally back together and no leaks.
If you look under the kitchen sink it may raise a few eyebrows... Hey, I'm an electrical engineer and computer nerd, not a plumber! But it works

Picked up a $200 CL father/son project. Everything works just needs some TLC, He's almost 6 but can't wait to see his face when he walks into the garage tomorrow.
I wiped it down but needs some cleaning and minor maint, may do a complete restoration but will be fun.

That's a great find for $200!!!!! My 108 cost $400.

Man, I got lucky. As soon as I drove 7 hours to the beach, I checked the local listings and it popped up. I figured I would at least give it a shot. I told the guy my situation and he held it for me despite numerous locals with cash in hand.Matt said:Bastard!
Very cool seller and everything worked out. Needs some things but I figure I will sink prob $150-200 into it and a fair amount of labor. Needs rings and mounts, deck bearings but not hard at all.
My son said....."Daddy, did you get me another gator?"
Lol.
Slowly but surely.

Before I went out to groom someone else' LED mod bug, I did some tinkering around the house. This week's project, flip flop my fridge's door. It opened towards the wall, and was annoying.
The Youtube videos I watched, all showed removing the inner panel (with the shelves) and flipping it over, which was pretty simple really, so I followed suit. Started with the bottom, and after pulling the rubber seal out of the track, I find this shit!!
Bottom track was completely rusted through, and almost fell apart in my hand. Sparky, did you send your TB's vibes to my fridge when you fixed all your rust? 
Got the panel off, and went to flip it, but the foam insulation behind it was contoured to fit the panel and would only go on 1 way. That's when I looked closer at the contact points on the door. They weren't quite mirrored vertically like I thought (pretty close though), but from side to side. So I put everything back together with the exception of that bottom track. (I'll have to source and buy that later) Sort of glad I wasted that time, as there was some mold under the seal from where the moisture got trapped, so I was happy to have that cleaned up.
Finished result, fridge and freezer doors open to the main part of the kitchen like logic would dictate.

Went and had a look at a TB at the local pull a part on saturday...LS, so nothing inside for me, but I was after the hood. Stike one was it's maroon, I need black and stike two was it's rusting in the same spot as mine. I had to go look at it because they just don't turn up around this area.
Looks like I'll have to save my bikkies for the painted new one, about $450 delivered.

Check out Tackets or the Ladder House, nice little townie bars. They are both about a 5 min drive from my house, right off of Charlestown Road.RayGumm said:Date night tonight!!
Gonna eat Thai Food, then go see the new ScarJo flick 'Lucy' (Gotta love Luc Besson) and then maybe a nightcap at a bar close to the house. YAY!

I work less at my "real" job than side jobs I think.
