Been looking for take offs but not finding any. I don't think there are a whole lot of them out there. I'm looking at these 20" Wheels off the Canyon Denali

I finally saw them that wasn't black on a Canyon. I likey Should look good!! I dropped it off Monday evening for them to take care of couple issues still going on. This time I let them know I'm not happy that they didn't fix a thing last trip. I told them to take their time this trip and figure it out and fix it. DRIVE THE Frigg'n thing and hear what I'm hearing and experiencing. Got to have it by the 23rd so we can get ready for Tucson.
Looking forward to this trip. Gets us out of here and away from the house and my mind off work for 3 days. Also should help that we have a 3 day weekend this weekend, Work three days and take friday off for another 3 day weekend.

Last weekend got a few things done around here. Got the trees trimmed up, Weeds sprayed. Cleaned up a little of the garage. Poked at the wall that needs to come done to see what it's going to take. I need to find where to take this block once I get it down to get rid of it. Then I will put up a couple wood fence panels so I can work on knocking the footer down and no one can just look into the back yard or just wander in.
Sunday morning I got to watching SuperCross before going out firing off the boat. Messed with that a little then came in and watched the Super Bowl. We will see what gets done this weekend. Need to start getting a few things ready on the boat so we can go out more that we did last year.

Haven't even started on my boat yet, been too busy trying to get the C10 back together, and now been thinking about getting the rest of my back done after I get the eyes done, if I do that there goes another summer sooo, I dunno.

Haven't heard anything on the Colorado. Looks like I will be calling tomorrow to get a status. I figured I would have heard something on what they are finding after a grilled the guy on nothing getting fixed last trip.

The incompetences probably can't find anything and they're afraid to call ya.

How far are you on the C10? Â Last time I saw it, it was in a bazillion pieces. Â Â Talked to CE a couple weeks ago and he was asking about the Nove Wagon.
It's a roller again, just have to make one more line for a fuel return and it'll be ready for the engine and trans, then I can start on the cab, last parts should be here Tuesday and I can finish up the trans, then clean up the engine and reseal it, probably pull the heads and freshen them up while I'm at it, if it wouldn't be for this damn cold $hit I'd be a lot further along.
Nova got sold last year, finally came to my senses and realized it would never get done, and I could use the money and space in the shop.

WOW!!!! Looking good!!! Looks to be coming right along. Good things take time. The wagon should be a good project to who bought it. That was a cool ride.

Thanks, it is fun to work on it now since it's all nice and clean, I'm really looking forward to wiring it up since I've never done that before. Yeah, the wagon is a cool car, hope this guy don't hack it all up.

Got a couple small things done today. A few months ago I found another piece of rebar in the front yard. Dug down about 18" and cut it off. Pulled the last of the remaining sprinkler 's on the side yard. Was able to get 3 more oleanders out of the back yard. There was a small tree stump in the back yard I had worked a little on removing. Got that all out now and got some dirt from the side yard and filled the hole. Probly need more but it's good for now.

I hate wiring. Easy jobs I don't mind. What you're about to do, confuses me. at some point I need to attack the bug and get it back running. That was a fun little car to drive. It's going to need to be rewired. I'm just going to do something simple to make it legal. May get a dune buggy kit and add what it doesn't have

Wiring isn't my thing either, but doing a bunch of research found out it can be pretty easy, one circuit at a time, won't have much factory stuff in there it'll be hot rod style, lol. I had a late 60's bug and I had to rewire the whole thing, I bought a kit and just followed the instructions and diagrams that came with the kit and it was way easier than I thought it would be.

Picked up the Colorado this evening. They have a TAC case in for the vibration. Tech seems to think it might be the electronic steering system. But we will wait for someone to answer the TAC case and go from there. Probly will have to go back next week for them to look at it. So, we will take it to Tucson this weekend and see what happens.
