Installed new transmission outlet line, new 160 alternator, and gave my box on wheels a spray down.

Drove 150 miles to pick up my xj that most likely blew the head gasket. Then I towed it back.

Took my grandma to get ice cream and the isles of the parking lot were packed with cars so we went mall crawling over the curbs and whatever else was in our way and got first class parking

Yeah. I've got a hack n tap to do on my rig this weekend, a 5k to run, and lots of homework. It's a good thing I've got another dd haha, it needs a new front seal on the tranny though. Maybe I should add that to the list too.

Riveted, but yes, it will be getting welded on "soon". It's very sturdy as is, but I feel like new sheet metal needs to be grafted in eventually.
