Just got my first MV!

Things I've done over the past month.
Painted the winch and got rid of the terrible red.
Painted all the axles with black rust inhibitor.
Painted the hood (turned out bad so no picture hahaha)
I attempted to adjust the doors by moving the hinges, however this turned out to be a nightmare. All the door pins were rusted, I broke off 8 of the bolts that hold on the hinges, broke off a few of the other bolts that hold the hinge to the door. I couldn't get two of the hinge pins out so I replaced those hinges entirely, tapped all the bolt holes for the next size and used grade 8 bolts. And used lots and lots of anti seize.

In the next few weeks I'll be adding on the spin on oil filter kit, replacing all the brake lines, and adding a light bar.

Stripped the hood down to metal and painted it to the best of my abilities. Turned out ok.

Haven't done too much to the truck in the past few weeks other than replaced a few seals. I also discovered I have the rear pto attachment so that's a nice bonus. Not sure if I'll use it or not, been thinking about putting a hydraulic winch in the bed and running a hydraulic pump off of the rear pto.

I'm planning on taking my whole pto assembly off to look inside because I still can't shift the pto into high gear and no one answered in my other forum post.

Also i got a pretty good photo of the truck the other day that I added.
