As some of you may know from my threads on here I have stripped my blue coupe down to a shell and purchased a new to me replacement car last summer for the daily driving duties
viewtopic.php?f=60&t=30341
ive put several thousand miles on it so far without a problem i really enjoy driving it and 40mpg is nice
no major plans for it just probably switching the look up here and there in the future
also last summer I did a ton of work to my 77 Chevy C10 that i have had since 2006(my first vehicle). i took the bed off i dropped it 4 inches with a shackle/hangar kit from Western Chassis and put air shocks on the rear. also dropped the tank and did the fuel gauge sender and new straps. then i dropped the front end with Western Chassis spindles and did wheel bearings and ball joints and shocks. it had rust problems with the cab so i did some work there with a cab corner, one full rocker, one rocker patch, a large section floor patch, a large patch behind the passenger fender, and some old factory body trim holes. then i used Chassis Saver on the entire floor and it came out great considering i was working on some hackjob repairs from some point in the past. also put some camaro headers on it for more ground clearance and did some other things. i drive it here and there in the winter and fairly often in nice weather its no show truck but its fun and i love it
i bought a 79 Chevy K10 3 years ago for a winter vehicle mostly but also cause i couldnt turn it down for 1000 bucks. ive fixed a ton of stuff on it in the past 3 years but the cab is way past the point of rust repair and its only getting worse. the engine is very tired and the tranny makes noises it shouldnt its been 100% reliable for 3 years never left me sit a single time no matter if its -5 degrees or 95 degrees. but its time to move on im going to try and get a little money out of it. its not worth much needing the repairs it needs but its time to move on...
to the 98 Cherokee 2 door i just bought to replace it. 167k 4.0L five speed. full power options 3 inch lift on 31s. i originally wanted a wrangler and had been looking since last summer for the right one but i realized i wanted more interior room and i wanted to save myself several thousand by buying a cherokee. it needs some small things done but its very nice for a 98 and its just what i wanted.
My life hasn't been much different in the past few years. I'm at the same factory job I've been at since Oct 2010 but 3 years ago i got a different position on a better paying machine and its been pretty good. I work alot of 10 and 12 hour days i had a total of 484 mandatory hours of overtime last year(2016). we are hitting the busy season again so its gunna be bye bye free time for awhile.
me and the misses have been together since Jan 2010(not married yet lol) last year she completed a barbering apprenticeship with her boss. now she is a licensed cosmetologist, licensed cosmetologist educator, and a licensed barber. I am extremely proud of her
thats about it for me Statistics: Posted by TrailerTrash — Sat Apr 08, 2017 11:32 am
