Oil pan work.

Some of us have less than ideal workshops.

My shop project is sealing the cab on a 2021 Kawasaki mule UTV. Cold air seems to seep in everywhere when it's moving.
Dust too.

Dry? Yes, mostly. Only one small drip from the non-functioning roof vent/fan above the FJ40s left front fender.

Warm? 125º Fahrenheit on any given summer's day. Unheated in winter.

Dodging the Black Widows, Steadotas, ticks, wasps, rats, bats, and god knows what else means the temperature is not my biggest concern. This is a rental but, by comparison, the last house we owned had only a semi-walled carport to work in. You never knew what you would find sleeping under your rig. 🦝

I try to refresh that one here...

I made some progress with my V8 of the 101 FWC. The intake manifold and one carburettor is back on the engine.

Then we equipped a Landy which will be shipped to Australia in about four weeks and which will then go to Africa with some Strands Skylord 7" LED high beam lights...unfortunatley that is not our trip...

And I pulled out some very cheap 7" LED lights where the Polycarbonate is more that cheap (avbout 2 years old) and changed them to a better quality in an MAN L2000 truck.

Supposedly slightly better at extreme angles than SUs due to the float design.

Not so spectacular as rebuilding an engine. But I changed the front and rear springs and dampers from our Defender. An as always with old Defenders what looks like an easy one on one job, gives you the necessary surprises during the job. Plus extra spare parts ordering during the process. But hey, we wouldn’t be doing it wouldn’t we not loving it so much.

I'm in the early stages of restoring a 1942 GM motorcycle. It's electric. A rare WW2 model from a European GM factory when the civilians couldn't get engines and chassis out of Detroit for the European subsidiaries. The MC I have is a 3 wheel model built as a heavy transport bike during the war years for goods transport on the city so that lorries etc could go to the war effort.

It's an older restoration I did with my father close to 30 years ago. But it got damaged in shipping after my father passed and I moved it from Europe to California. Need to have another go at it, and this time I will be a bit more specific about period correctness.

It's been a rather drawn out project as I don't work on it as much as I should, but here's my 1988 Land Cruiser FJ62 with a 5.3L LS3 swap. Still cleaning things up (I've done some work on that since the engine bay photo was taken) and I had a brake failure a couple weeks ago that parked the truck, but it's otherwise road and trail worthy.

1980 RS2000, group 4 shell. Duratec and a big Atlas. 13” wheels.

Just a fun road car. Maybe some autotesting or even a hillclimb.
