Now they should work,

I love my wife! She knows to keep an eye out at garage sales for items for the shop. This is her latest find. She got these two prints for $5 total.

Worked on this over the weekend, The Jeepney was overheating. So I installed a new radiator, water pump and thermostat. By the looks of them they were the originals out of the 79 granada the engine came out of. No wonder it was over heating. Its running nice and cool now.

BajaScout: I believe they put an 78 Ford 200 in the Jeenpey. That was done before I started to get to work on it. LS6 Tommy: The fans are push/pull. Just have to wire them the way you need. So far so good. Keeping the temps down so far. The parades we put it in can get the temps up.

Subscribed! Always love seeing your work. You have giving me a few ideas to use on my projects.

Yes, my wife and I are board members of the local Fil-Am group. We had this built by Sarao in the Philippines about 6 years ago, and shipped over minus the engine and transmission. Still had a heck of a time getting it through customs. Then it took almost two years to get licensed. They did not...

Today I finished cleaning up the wiring on this, I would like to thank E-Tek for posting the information about this wire wrap that he used on the 40 Ford. This stuff was awesome. I kind of wish I had bought the tool to help intall it. The small wire wrap was harder to work with. But it all...

Filson: Nice to see another Eastern Washington member. I've been to Colville too many times. We have an office there. Plexxarn: When I was quoted the cost to get it fixed I said "WHAT!!!!" Then I jumped on google! I was actually surprised how easy it was. After I finished it and it actually...

Thanks for the info, I was definitely going to keep an eye on the temps. Our group is a nonprofit and most of this is coming out of my pocket. Until we can do some more fundraisers. The old setup was not working that well to keep the temps down. These were not that bad for cost, and I am hoping...

If anyone is interested here are a few updates on the Jeepney. Installed carpet, move shifter over 2 inches, was hitting our feet while trying to drive. Very unsafe. all wiring in cab re-spliced, soldered and shrink wrapped. Had to disconnect the Ammerter since ther post were getting way to hot...

Sorry burrhead did not see your post, here is a close up of where the 6x8 post and trusses attach.

G8rDuc: Yep no insulation yet. It does get cold. So I have to limit my time out there. In the summer it is not so bad. Get some good winds blowing through. I am hoping to get some insulation and a ceiling in this year. burrhead: I can take some more pictures of the interior and post them for...

No onto my latest project. My wife and I are board members of the local filipino organization. FAAIE - Filipino American Association of the Inland Empire. Our organization had a Jeepney build by the original manufacturer about 7 years ago. We imported it direct from the Philippines without an...

First mechanical project in the shop. My daughters 200 323i decided it did not want to work in reverse anymore. After a lot of research and being told that the local trans shop wanted $6500 to fix it, I decided to do it myself. Now I have a good knowledge of working on engines. But I had never...

On to why the shop was built, I picked up a 1974 Jensen Healey from a co-worker for $1000. This car was in really good shape. It ran that last time when they stored it in the garage, 20 years prior! I was covered with a cover and left to sit. I am planning to do a total tear down and restore...
