Oregon and Washington BS thread

it doesn't have to be wednesday, i just picked a random date. will change to whatever works best for everyone!

 

It could be. I took one area down to bare metal and it came out just fine. It happened all over the cab. Not the whole thing, but spread throughout it. There are two spots on one door and nothing on the fenders or hood. The wrinkling actually settled quite a bit over night. I still have some paint repair to do, but its not looking nearly as bad now. I'm throwing the body panels back on and focusing on getting it running. I'll try fixing the bad spots in a month or two. So tired of this paint stuff haha

 

I thought you guys would like this, this was taken leaving portland on I-5

 

Most assembled its been in years haha. Just gotta get it to start now. Cranks forever, but doesn't catch at all. Definitely has fuel. Some mouse nest material is shooting out the tailpipe. Wondering if they might have stuffed up the muffler enough it won't start.

 

So, helping my cousin with his honda. Said that the guy he got it from took it to a shop who said it needed a tune. Here is what I found after looking at the plugs then telling him to pull the head. I then told him to have his buddy tell the "mechanic" that I said hes a ******* idiot.

And this is how nasty they look after I scrubbed the bores.

 

Well to be fair it probably does need a tune...among many other things

 

Yeah its toast. Cleaned everything, checked as much as i could and put it back together. Had my cousin look the head over, but its junk. Found that after we tried to start and all 4 cylinders were full of coolant. Told him to either get rid of it or tell his buddy it needs a new motor and is only worth 300. Didnt give him any option of fixing the car at the price they had discussed since it is my time, work space and some money that got fronted to get it driving.

 

Had a great day with @munkel today riding around Diamond Mill OHV until the rain made us stop because we just couldn't see. Speaking of not seeing...here's something Mike totally didn't see:

 

@stikle

I've done enough races and riding I feel I have some advice lol, never go fast on gravel.

People may blow passed me, but I'll always catch em in the trees. Gravel is unforgiving, and you can go from being in control to well.... not so in control as your aware haha.

 

good times Seth, definitely do it again sometime, maybe where I can remember the trails better next time.

I find myself on vacation after today with no specific plan as of yet. If anyone has a weekday off next week and wants to do a little TSF day trip bike riding, hit me up - I need more practice not falling over.
