Soo Mexico Was Fun
On the day we took it down to the shop... A mutual friend met us after we crossed the border. He jumped in the passenger seat and navigated us to the new shop location since they had moved recently.
Once we get to the shop, the owner took a good look at the truck and shook his head. Mind you this shop usually only works on vehicles older than 50 years.
He gave me a parts list that he would need in two weeks and took a deposit to start the work.
I dropped off all the needed parts the following week.
Flash forward 5 weeks... I was starting to get worried. I hadn't heard from the shop and I didnt think it would take this long. So we called mid-week and they said it would be ready by Saturday.
So we made our way down Saturday evening....
Work Done To The Rabbit -
-Changed the Radiator support
-Replaced the fenders
-Removed all the glass for paint.
-Fabricated one of the broken tailgate latches
-Refinished the wheels and steel bumpers
-All the exterior bodywork then paint... They painted part of the engine bay but I told them I will do the rest when I pull the motor.
-Reupholstered all the interior panels; A pillar/ B Pillar, Roof Liner, Door panels, Back panel behind the seats.
-Sprayed in the rubber bedliner
There were A LOT of little things that they also fixed.
So we go and pick it up on Saturday... All of the shop workers were there! They wanted to take a video of the truck driving off. They were in love with the stack and how much this little truck smokes. So after a TON of photos and videos driving up & down the street we went on our merry way.
That drive back and this last week has amazed me... This must be what it's like to be best friends with a celebrity! I SWEAR EVERYONE WAS POINTING AND SMILING AT THIS TRUCK! I even caught a few people taking photos. If I'm stopped getting diesel people ask "what is it?"
