The assembly continues…

With arrival of the transfer case, the mechanical assembly resumed without delay! Mounting the transfer case, installing a new pan on the transmission for better cooling, final assembly of the rear axle and main aluminum 39 gallons tank…

Certainly, there are still quite a bit of work but the transfer case has finally arrived..! After 3 months of delay, it was time!

Soon a new color…

There were two things that led me to choose a complete new paint:

– Protect the fiberglass roof from UV

– Find a more discreet color than white to better blend in nature.

However, I wanted to keep a light shade to avoid overheating of the interior in bright sunshine. My choice is thus focused on the color “Pueblo Gold,” a standard Ford color easy to retouch if necessary.

The painting should be completed by the end of next week …

Starting for a new dress…

Without wasting time, VivalaVida goes to the body shop …  Hoping that there is no too low bridge on the way! 😉
