Probably will, but it’s almost done… It’s close enough that I put the sign on it today. It’s not quite there for me, but I’ve got time to fix what’s left… Made the wife happy tho…

Thanks! I think the body color bumpers and molding really set it off. Just some final details to finish, that I spotted today. I'm hoping to have it up for sale this next week...

Washed… I do love my foam cannon! Then I blitzed all the horizontal surfaces. Clay bar’ed, cut and buff. Then ceramic coated. I’d already cleaned the engine bay, but a little dressing made it look better. Started in the interior. Original, Unused Space Saver!

Thanks, Im working on it this afternoon for a bit, trying to push it forward. Nissens makes OEM quality replacements as far as I know.. https://nissens.com/en-us/engine-cooling/radiators.aspx

The drivers seat on my Jetta Sportwagon has been disintegrating slowly. The base cushion is split and now the seat heater quit working. The backrest is also split, and the plastic lumbar support adjuster has failed inside. I thought about buying replacement covers for them, but the OEM covers...

Other side is done! Detailed the fuel door…😊 Looking good. I think the last few line items on my list are a drivers door speaker that stopped working, and a final detail. In the meantime, radiator for the 5.9 Arrived. Nissans is my go to for long lasting quality radiators. Also, for...

Parts arrived for the 5.9. Still awaiting the radiator. Time to wrap this Cherokee up Buffed out the bodyside and cleaned with Alcohol. Got the moldings set up, aligned and level. On. Underside of the rockers needed a good clean. Used “Release” as advertised on Legit Street Cars on...

Here she is running in 7 yo gas…🤪

That’s the plan….🤪

So, I let it warm up, then gently drive it off the drive, washed it down… Sun has not been kind to the paint. Clear coat is going/gone. She will need a repaint one day. Brakes are spongy, but it made it back on the drive no prob after. As it was warm, I drained the oil and changed the...

And as a pile on, I got a letter from the HOA… My very unpleasant neighbor reported my vehicles on the drive… My truck was easy to fix. It’s a 73, so no smog needed, so I just paid the tags and put them on. My ‘98 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9 will need a little love. It’s been sitting under a cover...

Thought I making progress, but the Mercedes is still fighting me. Went to drive it the other day, and noticed these lines on the street where we do a U turn… A thorough inspection it smelled like diesel fuel. I found a leak at the fuel filter which is in the V between the banks of this V6...

The wife’s Mercedes ML diesel tree a transmission code. After a lot of research, it pointed to a module on the side of the transmission. They call it the ISM or Intelligent Servo Module. Is it me, or is it odd that: Mercedes designed a shifter that when you move it, it senses the...

Cherokee drives great! But I have a failure on those painted moldings. The sun out here has warped them. Before I painted them, I used a heat gun to get them hot and then put a weight on… it flattened them out temporarily m, but after all the paint, they keep peeling off the doors. Then the...

Tore my Achilles tendon, so I’ve been down and out for a bit. It’s healing, but it slow. 🙄 Getting old *****! Project Cherokee is moving again. I was driving it, to prep for smog. I’d replaced the battery, and it needs about 80-100 miles to reset all the emissions modules. I put the miles on...

Not forgotten my build, just distracted with a bunch of other projects for a bit. But JD's Garage posted this today, and I thought it worth sharing!

I’ve been using the puller in the pics below. eBay, Amazon, etc. Shallow crease on drivers side. Got some tabs on the and began easing it out. Progress. Front dent is pretty much gone. Rear still needs another go around, but it’s coming.

Ha! I got chewed out by the wife last week… Sell it already she said! 😬

I’d decided to not paint the center section of the front spoiler… it was riveted on… Well, the more I looked at it the goofier it looked! So I fixed that problem. Had a few parking dings that were obvious. Made them less so. Put the passenger side moldings on. Began buffing and...
