Well you are right! The fun started this weekend!

I ground off a lot of the old welding scars from previous owner, removed all the old cut rivets from the angle iron for the side armour.

removed the mangled angle iron from the rear of the carrier and straightend the rear top metal. That metal (which has the muffler guards) is badly cracked and rusted pretty thin. I will have to replace it!

The drivers side track has been removed! That was a REALLY FUN job!!!

I found out that my coil spring compressor works like a charm as a track jack!

The wheels all turn easily but will be removing / cleaning and repacking the bearings any way


Cant wait for tonight!
