[alfa] Verde Update



I've nearly got my new (to me) Verde ready for the road after a very long weekend of work. My old Verde is mostly stripped, and the carcass will soon be ready to hual away. I've now got a basement full of spares and engines waiting to be rebuilt. My friend, and fellow digester Ethan put in some major hours helping me out. I sent him home with some well-deserved goodies for his effort.

For the most part it went rather smoothly, albeit slowly. The only real excitement was the engine nearly falling off the hoist. I misplaced one of the carabiners I usually use attach the chain to the lifting eyes. I substitued a Master lock, thinking it would be more than strong enough... it wasn't and it snapped. Fortunately, the engine didn't hit the ground (or one of us) as the other lifting eye took all the weight. I won't be pulling that stupid trick again.

Lot's of pictures and stuff here:

Left todo: Finish wiring, re-install cooling system, install rear shocks, and change gearbox lube. Should be on the road sometime tomorrow.
