Hey, hey!...what's up? I' m not fat, where is my beer? What glass? Somebody catch the cats and bring me one, is to cold out there!...minus 9 Celsius brrrrr :lol:

I don't know what you are doing between two years night but we celebrate more that is legal! :lol: (not a wise thing...is a happiness the time is going?)

Was necessary to clean the workshop for my friends and to put That thing to rest a little. Dress(?) a stair(?) ...is from Christmas tree timber :lol:


...



looks like is a haunted house? :lol: ...



If the place is now clean and empty I repair my Transit starter and is necessary to do many other little things like : why my house electrocute my cats? :lol: ...(and my wife, but this is not so important) :lol:



A happy new Year to all!

Very funny post mircea , I really like the "ladder Christmas tree"....!!

:D That "tree" is good. I bet your cats were happy with everyone feeding them all night.

That's too cold for me. It's about 13 C were I am. I hope the Russians turn your gas back on soon!

Happy New Year !

OK, not more notable news... change the tires


and more problems...shocks absorbers(beetle ones) are to short!
I cut this


from this



:lol: (I 'm an expert in English)

and mount the shocks absorbers here( :lol: )



Is just another solution!

I like your approach to the shocks. I went to the trouble of putting lever-arm shocks on mine because I thought I needed to for the body to fit correctly. Your re-fitting of the upper mount is a good solution. I think your shocks will also function much better than mine.

Damn, I really like your tires too. The military ones I have are a little sketchy on wet pavemnt and autumn leaves, and they really suck in the snow. That probably means that they will suck in the mud too... :cry:

I used heavy duty gas shocks on my front end. It's really stiff. I was planning to replace them with stock shocks, but now I don't think I can because my huge tires will probably rub... :roll:

'Love to see the progress you're making, so keep the pics coming!
