    Woo, holidays! Went down to the farm today and found that the tarp had blown off.



    So we drained the pooey water out and moved onto the next problem...


    I had previously stripped the shock top thread and I didn't consider that maybe my shocks would break sometime. They did, and so I had to cut the top. No sweat. Next.



    My 'bracing' had started to crack and so I re-enforced it by welding bigass bolts along the arch to distribute the forces more. Oh yeah, this is what happened to my shocks...



    So i replaced them with standard ae86 ones and they work minta


    All ready to rock and roll!


    the paddock was looking uncannily fresh, so we decided to leave it that way and move over to a different pasture.



    Where we met some new friends....




    Pose shot.


    Unfortunately, the grass was so dry and long that it have my radiator a wicked hair-do. Yes, thats my radiator. Somewhere



    All in all, a very fun day of skids. Thanks for reading.

    Not bad for a free 1950s arc. It does the job.
