I haven't been on here a lot lately, I've been spending most of my free time working on assembling a International Scout 2 from a '79 and '75 I bought. I guess I'll end up with a '77 when I'm done.
The '79 had a working drivetrain/motor but the body was shot. The '75 had a decent body but had sat for the last 6 years or so (actually, it fired right up with a little gas and a new battery). So I've taken the 75 body and am putting it on the 79 frame. Of course along the way I've had little surprises of things that need fixing, and I'm not even done yet. Here's a few photos of the progress so far.
The start
Disassembly
Puttin it back together
As it sits today
Still have a little ways to go (ok, a lot), but hopefully by the end of July it will be moving around under it's own power. After I get done with this project maybe I'll have a little $ to spend on knives again. John's tempting with that new Camp & Trail, I like the looks of that.
