Since we were on the welding/fabrication topic... I thought I'd show this beauty

[AbeSonic]

That's superrrr clean dude

Had 2 huge nos bottles in the cabin, and a chute off the back. Didn't catch the owner or hear it take off unfortunately.

Wow, that's incredible! Love seeing well done tubular stuff, really such an art when done with passion.

Gerta, You gonna be home this weekend? Would love to see the new box all organized etc.

Just scored a set of E30 Steelies for free!

Nice! Great price! I don't think I will be home much this weekend unless the kid's bball tourney run is cut short. I'm going to try to finish up the steering rack Saturday at some point.

Paint white, jack up IX, add land rover badges, profit.

Not a bad idea, although i'm sure they'd look better/more fitting on my 02.

Got the hole dug out in my back yard where a big tree stump used to be. This weekend i'll be building a fire pit, can't wait to have that done.

Long story short, if any of you Bothell Kids want to shoot the shit over coffee or beer while hanging in the backyard this weekend, i'll be around. We need to talk about another meet. The last Dicks' meet was pretty sweet.

[Gerta]

I might be down ... I can see grilling in the near future.

Nice score on the steelies!

Finally found a new chassis, it's actually a very straight almost flawless safari beige, 84. Also grabbed an mtech 1 rear apron, to go with the euro bumpers, only thing I really have left I need for the exterior is a front valance that looks good.

Yup, even the sliders are pretty nice quality, especially for how damn cheap it is

here's a comprehensive analysis from a couple of years ago about all the features of each of the different brands:

Garage Journal and Jalopy Journal keep me entertained at work during my "smoke" breaks. Sometimes I just need like 10 minutes to recharge.

Anybody know a bodyshop/paint guy that does quality work and isn't outrageously expensive? Truck needs paint everywhere...
