That's both the turn signals working and with new lenses.

Waiting on a rear engine mount for the car, the place hasn't even shipped it yet, 2 weeks after ordering.
I need to check, it might be the American arm of ECP.

Then, pull the engine to bits, clean it out, see if I can get it running and then drop it into the car to get it out of the way, rolling and out of the weather.
Will drain and filter the ATF from the Pontiac to use to test this gearbox.

Might have to order a new slip yoke, this one looks like it was recovered from the Titanic.

With the GTA gone, is this going to stick around a while longer?

Yeah, I'm trying to hang on to the Pontiac and the Plymouth.

Obviously if hell breaks loose, the Plymouth will go first.

Good, let's hope nothing happens now you've had your share of Armageddon. Be a nice pair to have that will....

Ordered a pair of Fury 3 outer tail lights (big bezel) which are in moderate shape, pitted chrome and broken lenses.
Hopefully the lenses swap from the Fury 1/2 lamps I have.

Problem is the Sport Fury and Fury 3 share the same lamps, so they suffer from OMG SPORT FURY tax. $50 for a pair of well loved lights? Sheesh.

Cleared some more of the garage debris. Slow work because I'm pulling all the nails out of the wood.

De-nailing takes longer than you think. Have you got a Gorilla bar or similar? Much more effective than the old fashioned crowbars.

I think it's theraputic. You don't have to think about what you're doing for a change. I bought a pallet buster and enjoyed dismantling them for kindling.

I have a claw hammer and a BFO crowbar as long as my leg with a spade and hook.

There's not much that combination can't take apart.

It's just been either too hot or too wet to actually do it.

[Scruffy Bodger]

Yeah, that's the sort, far more suited to the job than the old ones. I bought one like that when I spent a week ripping up a brand new floor in a massive barn conversion as the entire underfloor heating system was condemned. Someone had been nail gun happy with up to 7 in a 2 inch square on a tongue and groove caber floor. It paid for itself in the first hour.
