Boy OH Boy what a last few weeks.
1. Had some mechanical work done that was too heavy for me such as replaced Rear brakes, rotors and a couple of seals. They lasted over 90,000 miles. ( I do the fronts myself ) Had a Air over hydraulic cylinder R&R to fix a small leak.
2.) took the girl to the body shop and had a dent repaired from a too tight trailer back-up Gonna have to watch that better.
3.) took the stipes ( all faded out) off with 3 eraser wheels.
4.) wheeled the entire coach with my variable speed buffer using 3M #3 compound (looked like new)
5.) put new stripes on with a little different theme.
6.) put a coat of Gel-Gloss on the coach
7.) bought a buffing ball and did the Alcoa wheels.
8.) Put 2 new steer tires on and had a front end alignment.
9.) found the shorted out wire that was causing problems with the Alternator
10.) Lubed up the seals on the doors and the Kwickee steps with Silicone.
11.) put a new pulley belt on the AC.
12.) put a little backsplash behind the stove.
13.) Put 2 new coach batteries in.
14.) replaced the rubber seals around the back window and a bedroom window.
15.) repainted the gray trim between the fiberglass upper and the aluminum lower.
So now I am too tired and too broke to go anywhere. But that coach sure looks good and drives even better.
