Coles SX4 Projects
« on: December 01, 2013, 07:10:12 PM »
Thought I might share the fun. This weekend, after many years of dreaming, I finally started my project. I started with pulling the engine so I can start rebuilding it. Then onto the dash....or something....who knows. Wish me luck guys and if you have any tips or comments please join in. I hope to update on this poll as much as I can, so hold me to it.

I've had my eye on those since I had TQ, now with Penny I'm not as worried about the paint, but it still might be good for gripping tools and what not!

Awesome! Glad I could spread the word. I'm sure the seller appreciates me linking everyone! I feel like in the past I had made a thread for this item. Didn't seem to get the attention this random post did! :) I'll have to add this to my Christmas/Bday list! :)

Finally able to get out and do some more work. The weather hasn't been above freezing for almost two weeks. I was glad to find all the interior trim and dashboard all intact with no cracks. It was fun trying to get the drivers seat out with the transfer case in the way....better not forget to put the seat in before I put the transfer case back in. Have to replace the carpet, anybody know the best way to do so? Is there a company that sells them that anyone recommends? Let me know thanks

Hold the camera more steady for one! :)

Also I use Photobucket to host all my photos. Then you just copy/paste the IMG code in for the picture you want to show.

Very cool! But may I suggest!

Wait. So...they make things to not get oil on your car, keep tools from dropping, and prevent you from hurting your fist wanting to punch something? What the heck? I never knew these existed. Must get one. (Some of this was sarsasm and some not...I seriously never knew there were things to put over your fender to prevent such things....)

I like to to tell people my Eagle is like a Ferrari. It's quirky, tempermental, border-line exotic, and something you don't see everyday.  See? Makes perfect sense....
