Frustration can lead to bad decisions. And oh Boy was I frustrated in december. I guess a lot people were. Would I ever be able to do all the travel & adventures I long for ? What about the huge bucket list of things still to do? Well you have to start somewhere, and I always wanted to build a camper van. One week of research lead to a 400km drive and suddenly I yolo'd myself into buing an 1984 UAZ 425. It had no seatbelts and the seats no head rest, so I orderd that to be upgraded, and the carburetor need replacement. That took 3 Months as the Parts had to come from Russia. Until then I was stuck with making plans and research on material and process. I deemed myself well prepared.
Yesterday was the big day and I picked up 'Harvey Wallbanger'. The engine runs well, the brakes are good and it is really fund to drive.
The clutch need revisiting, a hopefully not to expensive process. A myriad of little things need fixing. And of course there is rust. I'm an IT guy, not a mechanic so am I way in over my head with this? 'Prolly yes. Still determined to see where it will lead me. So stay tuned for the next episode.
