Changed out the fuel pump/sending unit on the Safari I've been working on, while reconnecting the fuel lines the feed line snapped from rust and the return line is starting to leak too so will need to splice in some new lines.

Better 1, Better 2?

Swapped motor mounts in my 75 Dodge. I had dropped the new engine in a while back, but was never comfortable with using stock motor mounts. I did not think they would hold up to 500 lbs of torque, so I put in some heavier duty ones.

That fuel pump looks like something raised up from the Titanic..

Surprised that you weren't clogging fuel filters or getting that rust into the engine

I'm fixing it for a friend, it had just sat for years and the gas and pump went bad, didn't help that the tank was completely full.

Working on it. I put my shopping list in a spreadsheet and will compile everything in a post one of these days.

Glued some droopy sections of headliner back up, until I figure out something better. Put the spare tire apparatus back on, then vacuumed and washed it ....going on a major road trip next week.

Replaced the underdash vacuum check valve in my Dodge's AC/heater controls with one that has a built in vacuum reserve, because I read on here when that fails it can cause the duct doors to switch from vent to defrost when under load (hill climbing, accelerating), an issue I was having. Just took a 20 mile jaunt up the freeway and back while smashing the skinny pedal as often as I could. Had correct air flow the entire time. Hooray! Going to need that when driving to and from Boise next month.
