I recently got a great deal on some of those 7″ round LED lights that are typically meant for jeeps.
The install could not have been any easier. The model I got didn’t have the extra blinker light built in do they were just plug and play for me.
I have been keeping an eye out for a used pop top for my Vanagon almost since I bought my van. One showed up at my local junkyard and I was able to pull it with the help of a friend. I had no idea it was going to be that heavy, it’s fiberglass.
It’s in okay condition but I’ve taken on a bit of a project to fix up and install this in my old tin top Vanagon.
Today I say farewell to my dearly departed Rover.
Sorry you were too much work and a pain in the ass to be a daily driver.
Finally got this thing out of the Subaru.
Still working on pulling the Subaru motor. Everything is completely disconnected, hoisted up but is refusing to peacefully come apart. This is a perfect excuse to buy a crowbar.
Working through the pulling of the motor on the old Subaru for the Vanagon re-power project this weekend. Hope to have it done soon so I can get rid of the shell soon.

Introducing my new to me 1998 Land Rover Discovery One. It’s old, leaky, problematic, and I love it. I picked it up a couple weeks ago and have been working to get it road worthy. I think it will make a nice addition to the car family.
The problems are as follows:
Here’s what I’ve fixed:
Rear windows have a common fault on the Discovery I window control board, where one of the circuits becomes de-soldered and looses the connection. This was a relatively easy fix after figuring out what caused the issue.
Rear wheel noise was fixed just by replacing the pads, there wasn’t any material left on the brake pads, and now it’s whisper quiet.
After routine maintenance I’m down to one check engine light, for an O2 sensor.
