And that fleet of harvesters cost more than our herd of mustangs lol.
Spent today cleaning out the new jeep, got all the carpet out and vacuumed/beat the hell out of. Then went to work on the rust. Not nearly as bad as the Maine borne variety we already had. Cleaned it up and put some Por15 on it. Now the rest of the jeep can rot away but that pan will still be there.
Then went to work on the drivers seat. Used zip ties in place of the busted supports.
Had a lot of help too.
Got all of that installed then went to work on the radio. It was a butchered job from the start but it kept piling on. The bezel had been cut so the install kit would fit, dang it. Then the install adapter wasn't even the right one and they had drilled holes to make it work. They also didnt use the mounting sleeve and had pieces of styrofoam packing stuffed around the radio to keep it in place. Then onto the wiring.
They just twisted the wires together and put duct tape on them. Started crimping and noticed that they somehow connected the ground to the illumination circuit. Jeeps are kinda weird that the radio has a grounding strap instead of one integrated into the harness, so there may have been some confusion, but it's pretty obvious that they had no idea what they were doing. It explains the blown fuse on my interior lights too. All back together and working now, just have to order the maintenance parts.
Let's see, missed what I figure was a great party, mowed grass, washed three cars and decided to try to get rid of 50 years of crap under Lola. Got out the pressure washer and Greased Lightning.

Thanks guys.
It needs some landscaping and a few odds and ends.
I haven't moved in 22 years and I am absolutely not looking forward to it. I'm talking to a local company about moving all the furniture and bigger stuff. Not cheap but probably well worth it. Either save some money or save my back... Hmm.
Been out of it for a while guys. Working all hours for wheat harvest, etc. Picked up this container for some extra storage and a big big project down the road.
