Mom and Dad visit
Cindy and Charlie made their annual Florida booked visit. It was great to see them and spend some time together. This is us out on the Wando River after boating around Charleston Pennunsula up the Ashley through Wapoo Cut and over by Maybank on the Stono River and back to Remley's Point.
The Bumblebee
Erin has always wanted a CJ7 Jeep and at the beginning of April, we came across a great deal on an 83 CJ7 Laredo that was in pretty decent shape and came with several extras like 2 sets of doors and soft and hard tops. At first we weren't too wild about the yellow but it has grown on us and we're not in a rush to paint it anymore.
It has needed a few things that I have been busy working on. I took the hard top off, it has new drums, shoes, slave cylinders, brake auto adjusters, welded a seat braket, replaced plastic valve cover and gasket with an aluminum cover, new side mirrors, new wiper blades, reconnected cut brake light wires, fixed 4 hot leads that were shorting out the system, you get the idea, it hasn't even been here a month yet!
It's been a lot of fun and a good learning experience. There will always be more to do on this thing. So far, the more I work on this thing the more I like this silly thing. Oh boy, I needed another hobby and project! Here are a few pix.
