    Hmm yeah, I'm going to guess the copper bit should be straight like the other bits.

        Did a little rust work on one of the rear fender corners, fortunately all surface rust and nothing major yet!



        The lady and I also did an LKQ run yesterday, took advantage of their 40% off weekend. Found some mint sunvisors out of a Cutlass Ciera, they don't fit perfect, but for $8, being blue, and actually staying where you put them... I'm good with it!

                Garages are the best thing since sliced bread. Good find for the Murphmobile with zero miles!

                    Might just be staining and the shingles are still workable for a while. You can wash it with the right magic cleaning potion.

                      Thanks everybody!

                      The roof actually did need a little patching, but we got the sellers to fix it. It had just rained hence the fading, haha.

                        I do need to get me a garage some day. Kevin and Derek have seen my current garage, aka my trunk. Wagon cargo coils and Gabriel Hi-Jackers are a necessity for the amount of junk I have in the trunk. One student loan lender has been paid off and one to go so I am getting closer, but it's still a few years away.

                        Congrats on the new place! Good to see the car has a home after all the work you've put into it.

                          You're doing a smart thing, Vic. Takes a lot of integrity to hunker down & stay with a plan like that. My one friend once told me you can take the easy path early on or the tougher, dimly lit one. One will eventually get tough and lock you down while the other will open up to a multi-lane expressway where you can set your cruise control so to say.

                            I'm still around!

                            Fired it up last week to make sure it still starts. Just picked up ANOTHER project, this time a winter beater though, so between the new one and the house, haven't touched it. Lol.

                                '03 Grand Cherokee Overland, lol. It's a rust bucket, but it's fully loaded and has low miles for a Jeep.
