Congrats, they are a lot of fun as long as it's not your only car, off road it's great and very comfy.

Thanks, I bought as Baja, project not a primary vehicle by any stretch. But I do understand, that anything mechanical/electrical going on 30 years will have issues. Coming from 60 plus year old VW's and 50 year old BMWs trains you.

Default Wipers

Well I knew the driver side wiper wasn't working, but I was more concerned with the cooling issues. So today there was a slight drizzle, guess what oh yeah the driver side wiper. So I cleaned the windshield and so I decided to check what was wrong, a loose nut, by the way is there no piece of plastic on this vehicle that won't break. Also the new serpentine belt is on. Next on the silly repairs mission, no mirror adjustment and the vanity light upfront no worky. I got the tach to work, but it comes and goes, so according to what I read the alt might be a bit weak. Might do brushes or the whole plate almost the same money.

Default Sorting out different things

The front is a bit messy. The broken tabs aren’t the worst part, the whole thing is twisted. Also need to fix the aquarium, hard to see in the photo. Any “easy” way to clean overspray from plastic parts.

Front grill

Cracked headlight
