my better halfs new project

[Boonie]

my better half has decided she would like a project to play with and cruise around in. she likes early broncos (not sure how I feel about that), but they are price prohibitive. tried talking her into a early to mid 70s blazer, but she said they were too big. she wanted something cute. so, this is what we ended up with. 1962 international scout 80. pretty much all original. biggest aftermarket thing is the carb. needs some tlc, but I figure if she has that to play with, it will distract her from how much I spend on my squares. tiny little 4 banger, sounds like a sewing machine. kind of fun to put around in. and shes happy, so bonus. new tires, new clutch slave cylinder, recent brake job, has that top and some kind of homemade half top,

That is cool. I know a guy that said the international C1000 is the best truck in the whole world and it is the strongest. probably had a Chevy in it.

Roll with it as long as it lasts! IH are tough.

Any updates on the project???

 

[Boonie]

[f6john]

Has the wife got her hands dirty yet? That would require a few more pics.

Haha, it's a self-cooling brake line and an exhaust powered seat massager.

 

[Boonie]

yea, she gets in there and helps me. no pics of that yet

At least your project is better than her project. Just don't tell her that.
