Let the Fun Begin!
Starting at 10,291 HoursThe engine and transmission were well maintained (probably rebuilt at least once before), but it was in rough shape and missing a lot of parts. |
Replacing Parts 1 By 1
The floor of the cargo carrier looked like Swiss cheese, so I replaced it with shiny aluminum tread plate. You can also see the original, badly damaged hood in the background, which was replaced with a new one. |
Restoration Continues...I had the seat re-upholstered, changed the brake fluid, welded the roll bar, repaired the wiring, replaced all the fuel lines and after lots of cleaning and adjusting….. |
My Big HelperHere is my daughter Julia, pretending to drive it! She’s not quite tall enough to drive just yet, but she did help me install a lot of the new parts!

It's Ready for Another 20 Years of Service!
For fun, we put in references to 1998… Disney’s Animal Kingdom license plate (opened 1998), "Say hello to iMac” sticker (introduced 1998)
|
And another Disney reference is on the hood - Mickey’s Mow and Grow Landscaping!

"Thank you so much for your help!"
