Anyways woke up at 6 am went to the diner in town and ate then went to the bosses house cause he has a garage. So started with fenders 561563BE-4ACD-4EF8-ACB8-C830738C8F97.jpg6D843AA7-EFE9-4964-A657-2C7AB5E6229A.jpg 1E598739-4794-41F4-ABDD-A5F65D08B582.jpgthen did light bar no pics of that process for some reason. But here it is finished and cleaned FF3F55B6-A3F1-4D18-AF94-E8882457243D.jpg4E227BD3-A620-4983-B77D-307A86325E42.jpg C9B32071-5F81-4BB3-9725-E1DDC98B7768.jpglove the look.

    Great job on the fenders. Like the shop table and machete to clip them fenders.

    well long story short I lost a lot of my friends after my accident I was in a year and a half recovery and no one came to see me no one would answer my calls nothing... so it’s like I was dead. But I don’t mind being a lone wolf :headbang:

    I was lone wolf this weekend struggling with 14 year old busted rusted swaybar links. Work entailed struggles with locking pliers, impact wrench, then finally success with the dremel. New rotors, calipers, pads and $$$ Moog swaybar links which will be much easier to remove next time.
