Re: What non automotive projects and repairs are you doing?

Finished up a small (10 panel, 3.5kW) solar install on the house a couple weeks ago. Would've liked to have finished it earlier in the year, but life was busy. No storage yet, as I bought what we had money for. I wasn't going to take any loans and didn't want to just sit and wait to install. Right n...

Lighter-than-air, Albuquerque style

Upper level high squashed the wind, dead calm at dawn, airships bobbed up and down, slowly, for a thousand feet or 2. Earl Grey, fresh scones, good visit with an old Shipmate, nic...

Re: Identifying turbo vs NA axles

So I was in the junkyard today grabbing some interior bits, and I noticed that the '95 GLT I was harvesting from had a turbo gauge on the dash. I thought the GLT in '95 was just a trim package, not a low pressure turbo, but there was the dash gauge. I looked at the axles, and the boots were perfect...
