#1) I finally got around to picking up and installing a 7# spring in the WG last night. I went and beat on it for the first time and everything seems to be holding together. The transmission shifts way too soon (3500-4000) so it's not easy to really lean on it. But that's probably a good thing. I smoothed out the VE table and it seemed to like that as well. No pics, but I did get some logs. They look good.

#2) I started working on the seat brackets, but it got late on me last night. The bolts are just holing it together until I can weld it. Going to try and finish it tonight.

#3) I drove it to work today! probably has a couple hundred miles on it now. The exhaust is settling or something, it's rattling against the body somewhere. Slightly annoying at times, but if that's all I can bitch about, then I guess we're doing ok.
