Random picture taken off of our dumpster back when the weather was real nice.



Took the tow mirror off of the passengers side and removed the headlight buckets to prep them for paint. Kind of like it without them, but prolly should put them back on at some point.



Sprayed the lower part of the truck with spray in bed liner for pickup truck beds. It is textured and dried hard, so it hides the rusty parts pretty good.



Amazing what $11 in quarters will do at the car wash.



This is the day after we brought it home. Notice the black stuff dating back to 2004 covering it?

More pictures! YAY! We picked up a 1977 International Scout II Traveler. It was cheap and runs. I need to clean the carb and get the new brakes on it. Rusty but Trusty. Thats the way things are up here though. Salt on the roads really rusts cars out. We are looking for a better body and we will have a decent looking/running scout. These internationals will last forever if you keep up on maintenance.

You will also see in the picture, the jeep has doors! It has been a cold ride up until now! They are original Jeep doors, so I have to move a bracket so they fit better, but at least I don't have to keep running outside to cover it up with the car cover from a Honda Prelude that came with the jeep! The Scout gets priority right now because Joy doesnt have a car since the Mercedes has been put away...for good. (well, looking for a good donor truck of some sort to transplant the diesel engine from the mercedes into).

Anyway, Hope everyone enjoys the pictures. Will post more when I get a little more time. While we have what is considered a broadband internet connection here, it is still not quite as fast and posting pictures takes about 10 minutes each set.

It is supposed to snow here on Thursday and Friday. Dosen't look like it is going to be a lot of snow, but its still snow! Weather here has been about the same as Michigan in the fall time, maybe just a little cooler this past week. Quite a temperature change though. Just last weekend, it was 80 and sunny and this past week it has been getting down in the 30s at night and 40-50 range during the day.
