Thankfully not. I am going to have to assess some options and hopefully something can be worked out. For the time being it might be a very good choice to tear down the vehicle and rebuild it and work towards something else for a daily, and leave that to being the dedicated work rig. It leaks just about everywhere, the diff slings muddy water, there is multiple gasket leaks and fuel leaks, rubbers are dryrotted, it misses on one cylinder, the harness is a maze of electrical tape and there is plenty of mice damage. So best option all in all, stop trying to push something thats been exposed to elements inside and out and received critter damage, and really needs to be gone through, and go through it. Still not going to make it pretty for the sake of being a work vehicle, but will touch up the paint a little where the stickers have gone and such with a rattlecan.
