More rust repair today, my sons 04 Saturn Vue. The area where the LF rear trailing arm mounts rotted bad.
Some before pic's with the arm removed
Looking rearward
Looking forward
Reinforced the trailing arm bracket
New bushing installed
Fresh metal and undercoat, looking forward
Looking rearward
Trailing arm installed and ready to run
The rockers are rotten, but this will keep it running for the winter. He knows it's time to find a replacement. It has 301,000 on the clock, it's been a great car

Cleared the driveway and apron of the garage…
Ugg, You don't want to know!
You got more snow than we did, it is now ice!
It is 20 degrees outside, so time to work on A/C compressors!

Worked on snowblower today. Drilled out broken bolt and broken extractor with a dremel. Tapped new threads. Installed new muffler, throttle assembly, spark plug. Needed to order a rubber ring for auger drive but overall a good day. Will fine tune the carb tomorrow. Goal to be 100% before a blizzard is in the forecast. Happy New Year!

Been tinkering with a 78 DT 175, I picked up at a yard sale. Tank reline, carb, new clutch. A ride around in January sure is refreshing. Next up is lights.
putting a new fuel pump in the 72 Monaco and got some exhaust work done on the diesel Land Cruiser............ luckily a friend has pipe bending machines, no replacement exhaust pieces readily available for diesels, gas yes....
gonna be putting NOS lenses & trim on today inc an NOS rear bumper. dont think its been off road much if ever; the story we got it was that it was owned by a mercedes dealer's service manager who was a fanatic about it

Snow is in the forecast for early next week so I got my plow truck ready. I repaired the LF side plow light and installed it, mounted the plow and salter.

Started getting my hoist into position. Had to get creative with shims on the right post because it was between 1/16” and 1/4” lower than the left post.
