No, would be sweet, but still some work ahead, needs gauges a bellypan, finish welding and a bunch of other do that's

Looks like the sector shaft seal replacement is a wash so far, blew the seal out twice. Going to have to take the steering gear out and see why the snapring keeps popping out of the groove. Never had that problem. Anyway about 110 out so going to kick back for now where it's cool, kinda bummed, but oh well, not going to the desert tonight, was iffy about it anyway. Once it cools down a bit this afternoon will play with my buggy for awhile instead.

Steering on Tinkertoy was a wash, but playing with scrappy was fun.
Welded a few thing in the heat put some oil in the front diff. Tightened and added jam nuts to the control arms and then it was flexy time.
Also figured out that the TCC works in all gears, couldn't figure out for a bit why the darn thing kept stalling, guess a idiot light would be a good addition.
Anyway on to the good stuff at 4 feet of flex front and rear things are stable and it's easy to get there. I bet I am gonna love auto wheeling.

I have to admit, for a very short moment I pondered the possibility of shooting the exhaust from the turbo straight up through the hood.

Then I got ahold of myself. That was a close one

Going to have to clearance the front driveshafts a bit other than that all seems well. Funny that it feels stable with one wheel of the ground
