Haha. Thanks guys.. Yeah......cancer. The door is solid though, its just the rocker panel and door jam that needs some attention.

As far as mechanical, or engine work, the plan is to just clean everything up, and build myself a new 3" exhaust to replace the current setup which is broken in a few places. Other than that I'm keeping it stock.

Today I'm going to try to get some work done. Hopefully no more Flintstones mobile.

Well thanks to the 50 degree temperatures we experienced today, the FEET of snow we got last week has all begun to melt......


AND POOL INTO MY MOTHERFUCKING GARAGE!!!! :mad: The HELL!??!?!

All I wanted to do is weld up some panels, and I have 2 standing inches of water on my floor, and despite my best efforts to shovel the water out the door, it seems just as much is constantly flowing in through the back....

Jesus god damn....




And here's a video.....I KNOW....Vertical video syndrome....I was more pissed off than creative at the moment. Won't happen again. Haha.

But check the flow.....

says the vid is private, but you could get some of that stuff that absorbs moisture. Seems like it might be an excessive amount of water for that though. Salamander?

Thanks for pointing that out.

I think I fixed it. Now you can check the video out, and see the steady stream.


And the problem is no matter how much I can remove, more just constantly would flow in through from the back.

haha! I'm glad you said that.

I kinda already did. Haha.





Notice the method of removal. Bucket, and shovel.

I gave up at around 80 gallons..With minimal to no change in water levels.

I haven't seen it yet this morning......I'm kind of avoiding going out there.

Well it would appear that my channel system has worked. I went out this morning, and most of the water has exited the garage in one way, or another.

So after I bailed the remaining water off the floor, I actually managed to get a little work done!

So this weekend wasn't a total wash in terms of car progress.






And now for the return trip to Rhode Island.....Ugh...
