A pleasent surprize
« on: October 23, 2010, 03:33:31 PM »


Today as i am stuck inside doing some soldering i hear a beep outside and it is the mail truck with a package.  I open it up to be pleased with some decals from Brandon (83Eagle!).  So they went on the wagon ;D

This is the first

and the second (representing)

and because i must give credit this is the one I got from Chas (Mavericke) the first time we met earlier in the year

So I must say thank you to Brandon and Chas for making my car just that more unique and keepin' people guessing

...and is that a cargo cover I spy through the window? I always wondered what they looked like, anytime I find a wagon in a JY I look for one.

Good point.  I think I will put mine on a clear sheet of contact paper and stick it to the side window inside.

Be careful of the defroster wires.  A PO taped a for sale sign on the inside of the rear hatch on our 88
and broke some of the wires.

Yeah, I've repaired some and it didn't work on some.  I plan to try again.

good to know.

jim: if you haven't already there are kits availible at autozone and other popular auto parts retailers that allows you to repair those wires in the defroster

I did not know that.  Too bad my defrost does not work.  The wire leading to it was destroyed.  I have not taken the time to figure out how to fix it.  Never bothered me that it stopped working.  Now the cigarette lighter not working sucks.  I really don't want to mess with the dash to make that work.

Those decals are the handiwork of Reaper_of_Souls.  I think he can make more to order.
