Getting caught up

 Hello everyone,

After much checking and talking with as many auto mechanics as I could talk to, I finally figured out what was wrong with the car. It’s a long winded reason but basically it was out of time. There’s a mechanism on the cams that change the cam timing by computer control and when the timing belt broke the mechanism couldn’t reset, so I had to pull the cams back out and reset it by hand. All good now and runs like a dream. So, it’s finally out of my shop and up for sale.

I brought my old Gator in and did some much needed maintenance on it, and now I have the golf cart in the shop and finally have time to complete it. I never really finished it after I got it working, and that’s been probably three years ago! I’ve gotten the glovebox sandblasted and the new dashboard housing that “Shop Teacher Bob” made me back then finally fitted and a new aluminum dash fitted. The dash need a few more holes drilled in it but, at least it’s progress.

I also have a very bright light to put on the front so we can go out in the woods at night, plus a horn and some speakers so we can have some tunes!

Oh, and some cup holders for our beverages of choice!

I also had to repair my tamper, I accidentally ran over it with the tractor! I’m not a great welder by any stretch but I’ll do in a pinch.

I had to cut all the gussets off so I could remove the broken piece and then cut off the handle and reweld everything back in place. I also had a couple of small plumbing projects to do, so I’ve been pretty busy the last couple of weeks.

I need to order up some switches and the little amplifier for the tunes and then hopefully get the golf cart project finished.

Well, I think that’s all for now. 

Talk to you soon,
