That has to feel good!

Now let's see what you replaced it with!

Greg, I am patiently awaiting the

Mrs Claus, ordered me a Borgeson steering box from Amazon. It is one of those "we will ship it when it becomes available" parts, but it was allot cheaper than anywhere on the internet.

My parts stash dictates I have enough inventory I can keep busy for several weeks anyway.

Mrs Claus has me busy in the house though

Oh yeah - I hear ya! My Mrs Claus has me doing all manor of stuff this time of year. It's all stuff that is just about anything other than what I'd like to be doing. But after 42 years together - I've learned to just keep my big yap shut and smile.

I have been searching C-List for buckets for months. i have even went and looked at some.

My wife suggested I check a local wrecking yard for seats, it's where she recycles here pop cans. Last Friday I asked her if she would like to go with me so we bundled up (it was 20*) and went for a junk yard run.

We looked for almost an hour, and almost gave up when she spotted these in a 98, 5 series BMW, all electric, and leather. Luckily no rips, filthy as heck, covered with glass, no guarantee they would work.

I had to wait until Monday to pick them up, and since we celebrate on Christmas eve, the day was mine.

Here are the before and after pictures of what a good cleaning did.

I smell what your stepping in there buddy.....

I suppose that is the reason for no big updates?

Nice score on the seats.

Doug's headers arrived last Thursday, Global West parts arrived yesterday, and Borgeson power steering pump arrived today.

AND, about 1000 SF of engineered flooring arrives tomorrow.
13 doors to replace, 200 linear feet of trim to put up...

As Colonel Hannibal Smith used to say "I love it when a plan comes together"

No problem...
