02 Base for my son

[Snowbound]

You can take the haze out of the headlights with some 3M plastic compound/polish. I usually sand 1st, go down in grits, polish them out, then use a 2 step UV liquid protectant that dries.

I’m gonna have to do that. It’s actually not bad at all at night now but it would look better in the daylight if they were more clear.

Forgot one more part I put on. Mirror adjuster switch. Tested it first and it wouldn’t move either mirror in any direction. Simple and cheap. I can’t stand when things don’t function as intended. Hell, most of the time I can’t stand when things function as intended, they can always be better!


And the dust boots on the driver side caliper pistons were shot. I almost couldn’t get them to push in. So now I have 2 new calipers coming. I couldn’t leave it knowing they were like that.

Damn! I saw your post in your other esky build about this esky for your son! But wow you’ve cleaned this truck up nice for him! So much work done to it and f course w elbow you do things the right way! I’m jealous! All my dad ever did for me was teach em how to spend money. Never taught me about the value of taking care of a vehicle. Never the guy me how to work on them or even wash them! Your son is one lucky kid to have a da d so involved as you are! And he’s got a damn nice ride for a first car! Way better than my first car! Lol

Yeah.... Your son is very lucky, and I hope that he truly recognizes and appreciates that.

My first ride was a $200 ************* that I had to fix/replace just about everything on it, just to get it to run and keep running. But, then again, that is how I learned how to work on cars and fix problems and keep them running.

You know he did if it needed it. Man is on his "A" game!

Nice ride for your boy and good catch on that caliper.
