Hopefully a little bit of rest!

I'm expecting the Niva's motor mounts to show up this week, which hopefully will be the last final pieces of the puzzle to get it back on the road... But this is the sixth so-called "final" piece so you never know...

For the '91:

- '95 brake booster/MC. Just need to get off my lazy azz and get it bolted in.

- Working fog lights using a factory style harness

- I finally found a set of seat bracket covers. Need to paint those and fix one of them.

- A gas gauge that works for its entire travel (only works from 1/2 tank to empty currently)

 

 

For the '89:

- If I can find a couple more parts at the junkyard, an open loop cooling system

- Hopefully, a parking brake

- More wiring improvements

- The rest of the interior. Just need to paint a lower dash.

 

 

And here's my present for me. Dunno who all around here is into milsurp guns, but I picked up a very nice Mosin-Nagant at an estate auction the other day as a little present to myself after exams. Goes great with the SKS I got last year.

I want an M1 so bad but the CMP is out everytime it seems like I'll have enough money to even think about getting one. They have some field, specials, and M1Ds right now but alas, I'm poor. One day...

 

Funny thing is, when I bought the '89 it was either the truck or an M1, and I keep changing my mind on which one I should've gone for.

nice Mosin! My father passed down to me an M44 Mosin Nagant that he bought during a big Russian import about a decade back. He got it for 83$! Great little gun.

And as my reply to the subject of what I'm getting the MJ for Christmas... So far I got 2awg Meanlemons battery cables, a Krustyballer hitch, an idler pulley and new serpentine belt to fix this awful squeak I have. And left to get will be bucket seats, and a Detour Offroad BBLB-1 30" light bar.

Can't wait to get out and shoot it. I didn't realize it until I played with it some but there's no way it hasn't had trigger work done. It has a return spring and a really, really nice ~5lb pull. Seems drop safe too just from whacking it on the ground a few times. Not what I'm used to on old commie guns. The one on my SKS was so awful I sent it to a gunsmith in Texas who makes a living fixing them up.

 

Oh, and actually on topic, I forgot to mention that I found a set of Pioneer body mouldings a few weeks ago. I think they'll look pretty nice on the '91.

Already bought or know Xmas gifts:

RRO control arm drop brackets. 5.5" front springs, rear anti wrap rear spring perches, WJ booster and master conversion, a set of 255/75R17 Firestone MT's on black custom wheels (like new aftermarket JK takeoffs at a killer price).

 

Will need during lift in the spring:

Still shopping for shocks. Longer brake lines were already done, and already has an adjustable track bar (hope it adjusts enough). Also want to look at a helper spring for the rear leaves to help heavier loads.

Looking to purchase 746 fuel injectors.  Looking on fleebay but I am running in to some confusion.  I search for Volvo 746 fuel injectors and find a lot of listings.  However, when I look at the product descriptions, different Bosch part numbers are listed: 720, 721, etc.  Also, some say EV1 others say EV6.  Still others list different pounds: 19# and 30#.

 

What should I be searching for?
