the absorber blew, saturating the air bladder in fluid from the inside which compromised its ability to hold pressure under load. An easy replacement, but the lower nut spins on the stud… so gotta run out for a nut splitter to destroy it properly and cause some new issues to solve.

I wish i had those issues to solve, and I wish I knew how to solve them. Sounds like a fun way to spend your saturday to be honest. Which rig is this? ol Pinky?

The 66. When I began messing with cars I didn’t understand them much. I loved them though. Curiosity helps motivate you to try to do simple things which leads to more confidence, tools, ambition. Before you know it you’re building cars by hand in the same garage you were afraid to charge a battery in.

Dude that's so fucking rad. I live in NYC, so I would kill for a yard to mow, and a garage to fuck up and learn shit. Very envious, one day I will get a garage, and spend 5+ years trying to restore a 1st gen 4runner or vintage land cruiser.....one day

Thanks! Yep! Measured out a pattern and busted out the wife’s sewing machine and made a ragtop cover out of a hardware store painters canvas tarp, made the interior too. Something temporary to enjoy the car while I find the funds to order authentic components.
