Hi guys. My first time responding to a thread. Please don't pick on me too bad if I screw this one up. Just learning how.
I bought a non running m1008 last year. My first MV. Been wanting one for a long time and the price was right! Since I've had it, had the alternators rebuilt (One was kinda melted inside). New tires. Shocks. New brake calipers and pads. Replaced all the brake hoses. New brake shoes, wheel cylinders, hardware and oil seals on the rear. Doghead relay mod. Glowplugs, glowplug relay, fuel injectors and return lines.
I have a few more parts to install that I haven't been able to get to yet, like a new fuel lift pump, high flow water pump, door and window seals and exhaust system.
GOT to get a new dashpad! The original one is so cracked it looks like someone chopped it with a machete.
I'm trying to get it running by this fall. Things slow down when it gets really hot outside or it's raining all weekend.
Any suggestions about replacement wood for the side racks? Other things to focus on?
Thanks for any suggestions.
