Re: Started video documentation for the C303 restoration!

Sadly, the SO's sister has had her damn travel trailer parked in front of me all summer long (with about 6" between us) so I have had no room to do any of the body work, sandblasting that I wanted to do while the weather has been nice. I'm extremely unhappy about that, but the house was inherit...

Re: Started video documentation for the C303 restoration!

Thanks for the info, Chris! I based all of my understanding on what the previous owner told me about it from when he imported it about 15 years ago. The orange only shows up on the back door, which is not the original. The other doors and rear tub have also been replaced, as well as the engine...its...

Re: Power Steering

I have sent off a letter with some pics/info to a company called Nexteer which does a lot of the parts and engineering for many of the electrical power steering units used in production vehicles and some of the aftermarket units like the latest unisteer and "I-did-it" hotrod kits. Apparent...

Re: "Cool Car Cruise" on Jan.1 in East Bremerton, WA

Im so pissed at those car show idiots! They changed their own sign (the one we saw initially said 4pm) to a different time for the show, which was from 10am-1pm! We showed up, it was already over with. We even called TWICE to make sure where and when it was, and both times they said, "yeah, its...

"Cool Car Cruise" on Jan.1 in East Bremerton, WA

If anyone wants to ride up, we will be parking the C303 at the"Cool Car Cruise" at Shari's Restaurant in East Bremerton, WA, which starts at 4pm, but if you want to park you will need to arrive at 2pm or so. No fee to enter, its pretty casual. It is mostly hotrods and customs, but perhaps ...

White Christmas! Video driving around WA in it...

So Santa brought me a GoPro Hero3HD, and we got some snow today, so I shot a video of us driving the C303 around western Washington in the snow we got for Christmas morning.

Wishing you and yours a very happy holiday!

Re: More driving outside view forest

What an awesome video! Thanks so much for sharing. THIS is what a good video about 4x4s should be; Multiple great camera angles, great location, shows the vehicle well, and to pull it all together you have an amazing dog as the protagonist (who is apparently very very smart and knows how to play aro...

Re: Pinzgauer , mushrooms.

If small capped ones in clusters of 2-5, ranging in height from 3-6 inches and with a blue dust on the tops begin to appear, dont eat more than a gram or 2 at a time, unless you have nothing better to do for the next 15 hours or so. Not that I know anything about it personally from when I was a teen...

Low MPH Marine Speedometer?

I am considering replacing the speedo on my C303 with a mechanical unit with both MPH and KPH, to make things a little bit easier when determining what my speed is. Trying to guess what I'm driving at is rather annoying. What I wanted to know is if anyone has used a lower-gauged speedometer that mor...

Re: WA state: Meetup in Gig Harbor Sun, Dec-16

I look forward to many more meetings, particularly mogfest next year, but hopefully something before then during the spring or summer, maybe for a barbeque out here at the homestead in the sticks. Im still kicking myself ...
