Got the rear Rough Country Nitro9000s in the mail today. Wow were those easier than the front lol. Shes ridin like a caddy now
.
Just gettin a little done at a time I guess. Hopefully after the exhaust gets tucked up I wont have to spend much on big stuff and try to work with some stuff I have. Classes start the 29th so thats a bummer, books are gonna be a big purchase. Ive got 2 machining classes, My like 6th CAD class, and a welding class. So im finally done with all those worthless math/science/english...etc classes
. Hopefully ill have my CAD Assoc plus a cert in machining and/or welding by the end of this yearish or end of next summer. The machining and CAD places around here are going out of control hiring kids straight out of high school and stuff from what ive heard, so thats a plus. Hopefully Ill be able to find me a nice job and stop this plumbing BS. Im sick of poop and crawl spaces!! Especially when you combine the two!!
But anywho yah hopefully ill get her all cleanup up and ready to hit the dunes labor day weekend. And then after that I want to start ripping the interior out and cut and weld the rusty floor by the doors (got a couple holes) actually looking forward to some fab action. Then I get to install all my nice brand new carpet, which should really brighten up the interior. After that its just gonna get enjoyed till I save up for my next project on it
(which most likely is gonna be a beef A$$ build on the 700R4) My buddy is a mechanic and a darn good one to boot, and he told me he could build me a bada$$ 700 for around $500, excluding torque converter. He pretty much will do things for material cost for me, plus maybe a tirty pack or so. Gotta love havin good friends
I did get a nice score today though for the Vandura. I currently blew a chord in one of the cooper cobras, and caught a nail in another at work, so im rollin on both spares in the front, which are really nice brand new tires, just not as cool as the cobras lol. But got a nice firestone wilderness at 235/75/r15 on steal rim for $10, real nice tread. And the old dude thought the van was sweet and threw a set of really nice heavy duty roof racks in for free that came on the chevy van he had. So I thought that was cool. Now i just gotta find a ladder or something to put on the roof to use them lol. But I feel much better having a nice spare in the back instead of the cobra with the blown chord.
